Morphine Sulfate (concentrate) Coupons & Cost Discounts

This product is very strong. It should only be used if you have been regularly taking moderate to large amounts of an opioid pain medication. This strength may cause overdose (even death) if taken by a person who has not been regularly taking opioids. Each milliliter of this product contains 20 milligrams of morphine. Do not confuse this product with other strengths of morphine liquid. Also do not confuse the dose of morphine liquid in milligrams (mg) with the dose in milliliters (mL). Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you should have naloxone available to treat opioid overdose. Teach your family or household members about the signs of an opioid overdose and how to treat it. Morphine has a risk for abuse and addiction, which can lead to overdose and death. Morphine may also cause severe, possibly fatal, breathing problems. To lower your risk, your doctor should have you take the smallest dose of morphine that works, and take it for the shortest possible time. The risk for severe breathing problems is higher when you start this medication and after a dose increase, or if you take the wrong dose/strength. Taking this medication with alcohol or other drugs that can cause drowsiness or breathing problems may cause very serious side effects, including death. Be sure you know how to take morphine and what other drugs you should avoid taking with it. Get medical help right away if any of these very serious side effects occur: slow/shallow breathing, unusual lightheadedness, severe drowsiness/dizziness, difficulty waking up.

Also, using it for a long time or in high doses near the expected delivery date may harm the unborn baby. To lessen the risk, take the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Babies born to mothers who use this drug for a long time may develop severe (possibly fatal) withdrawal symptoms.
