Teva-Morphine SR 15 mg

TEVA-MORPHINE SR 15 MG is an extended-release oral tablet containing morphine sulfate, a potent opioid analgesic. It is designed for around-the-clock pain management, offering sustained relief for moderate to severe pain conditions. This medication is manufactured by Teva Canada Limited and is available in a pack size of 50 tablets.

TEVA-MORPHINE SR 15 MG is primarily used for the management of moderate to severe pain that requires continuous, long-term relief. The extended-release formulation of morphine sulfate is intended to provide consistent pain control over an extended period, typically for conditions that necessitate around-the-clock opioid therapy. This medication is often prescribed for chronic pain conditions where immediate-release opioids are insufficient.

Common effects of TEVA-MORPHINE SR 15 MG may include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and constipation. These effects are generally mild to moderate and may diminish as the body adjusts to the medication. Some individuals may also experience itching or dry mouth. It is important to monitor for any unusual or severe side effects and consult a healthcare provider if they occur.

TEVA-MORPHINE SR 15 MG should be handled with care, as it is a potent opioid medication. It should be stored securely to prevent misuse or accidental ingestion, especially by children or pets. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not crushed, chewed, or broken, as this can lead to rapid release and potential overdose. Always follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional.

TEVA-MORPHINE SR 15 MG may interact with other medications, including other opioids, sedatives, and central nervous system depressants. Alcohol should be avoided while taking this medication, as it can enhance the sedative effects and increase the risk of respiratory depression. Certain medications that inhibit the metabolism of morphine, such as CYP3A4 inhibitors, may also increase the risk of side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
