MS Contin 200mg (Morphine Sulfate)

Active Ingredient: Morphine Sulfate 200mg

Overview:
MS Contin 200mg is a prescription opioid analgesic designed to provide long-lasting relief from severe chronic pain. It is specifically formulated for patients requiring continuous, around-the-clock pain management when other treatment options are insufficient. The controlled-release formulation ensures steady and effective pain relief over an extended period.

How MS Contin Works:

The active ingredient, morphine sulfate, binds to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This action alters the body’s perception of pain, providing significant relief while promoting comfort for patients dealing with persistent, severe pain.

Uses:

• Chronic Pain Management: Designed for patients with severe, long-term pain due to conditions like cancer, severe injuries, or post-surgical recovery.
• Palliative Care: Often used in cases requiring consistent pain control to improve quality of life.

Dosage and Administration:

• MS Contin 200mg is typically taken every 12 hours as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it, as this may release the medication too quickly and increase the risk of side effects.
• This medication is not for use on an “as-needed” basis for pain relief.

Important: Always follow your doctor’s instructions closely to prevent misuse or overdose.

Possible Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects: Constipation, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and sweating.
• Serious Side Effects (rare): Difficulty breathing, severe drowsiness, or signs of opioid dependency.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing or signs of overdose.

Precautions:

• Not Suitable For: Individuals with severe respiratory issues, acute asthma, or bowel obstruction.
• Special Considerations: Use with caution in patients with a history of substance abuse, head injuries, or liver and kidney problems.
• Avoid alcohol or other sedatives while taking MS Contin, as these can increase the risk of serious side effects.

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F).
• Keep out of reach of children and secure from unauthorized access to prevent misuse.
