Morphine comes in 15 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg. I'm fairly certain of these numbers because I just got through taking care of my best friend who passed away from cancer. These are the dosages that she took from beginning to the end.

Morphine Comes in MSIR ( Morphine Sulfate Immediate release), which is realeased immediately into your system. The strengths above are for this form of morphine. Then it comes in Morphine SR (sustained release) Which releases it over a 12 hour period. It comes in 15mg, 20mg, 30mg, 50mg, 60mg, 100mg and 200mg. Then it comes in MorphineXR, which is released over a 24 hour period. MorphineXR comes in 30mg,60mg, and 120mg. Brand names for MorphineSR are Kadian, and MScontin. MScontin comes in gerneric, kadian does not. MorphineXR only comes in the brandname, which is Avinza. Note of caution Dosages of any form of morphine 60mg or above should only be used in people who have been on large amounts of opioid narcotics, or you have been told you are opioid tolerant.

Does hydromorphone cause greater respiratory depression then morphine?

A milligram of hydromorphine (brand name dilaudid) is approximately 5-7 times stronger than a milligram of morphine. Thus 1 mg of hydromorphone is more effective at treating pain and more likely to have side effects, such as respiratory depression than the same dose of morphine. People should be started on lower doses of hydromophone than morphine for initial pain management. However, once the relative strengths are taken into account, hydromorphone is about as likely to cause respiratory depression as morphine.
