If it's an IR, snort it. Otherwise, eat it.
NO.... the SR and IR are two totally different meds.
First of all, 6-15mg Morphine Instant Release tabs is way to much for 1 day. Try cutting the dosage in half first. 3-15mg Morphine tabs in one day. If the side effects are still to much, a better option would be Percocet.
30 mg of Morphine IR is equal to approximately 8 mg of Diluadid, so there is about a 4mg morphine to 1 mg of dilaudid ratio. So 45 mg of morphine would be equal to 5.6 mg of dilaudid. To answer your question, 45 mg of Morphine IR would stronger than taking the 4 mg of dilaudid.
instant release
Absolutely not; they are the exact same thing; one is just designed to last longer than the other before your body breaks it down. Morphine IR and Morphine ER are both morphine; one is instant-release (IR) and the other is extended release (ER). So a UA will definitely detect both, no matter whether it is a slow-release (ER) or a fast-release (IR). Depending on the type of test it will come up positive for 'opiates', or 'morphine' if it is a test that names the actual base substance. Some answers to this question have been moved to the discussion board.
No. The IR you are referring to is "instant release" if they were extended release, they would have a coating of some sort with them.
Yes. The only difference in these drugs is how they are prepared so that they release either immediately or over a sustained period of time. They are both morphine sulfate.
Yes, approximately 3-4 times stronger
morphine requirement will increase with regular use and safe dose will depend on weight and general health a safe daily dose is nil.
how well does morphine IR 15mg q 8 hr for my migrainres instead of having to go to the Hospital. I have taken one and nothing has helped, so then I took another--- wait another hour, nothing, I take another one? Should they have given me a larger dose? My Drs know I have a very very high pain tollerance,so I takes a lot of pain pills to get my neck pain
