Is Morphine timed release

Answer 1

Is Morphine pills time released? Or how long does it take to start working?

My doctor has given me a choice of starting on methadone, ms. contin or fenytnal patches. Which is best?

I've tried the patches whic irritated my skin so I'm asking about the ms. contin or methadone? Are they time released? Do they last all day unstead of like lortab n percocet n have to take them every 4 hours?

Answer 2

depends on what brand it is, are your pills coated? a few companies produce morphine sulfate to be dispensed pharmacologicaly

if your pill is light blue then yes....

if it is purple then it is not considered time release. However most coatings on coated opiates manufactured from 2005 and later are made to hold the meds in the coating longer, due to overdoses in case of miss dosing or intentional overdose. it gives more time to get the meds out before they have been released.

Answer 3

It's certainly been done, but it's not a simple process. Indeed, these pills have been formulated specifically to prevent IV use. The penalty for not getting it right can be high, but the government would rather see you die than to enjoy drugs. Take it orally - it'll last longer.
