Morphine Sulfate 60mg

What is Morphine Sulfate 60mg in Canada

Morphine Sulfate 60mg is prescribed to manage severe, chronic pain in Canada, which necessitates continuous, long-term opioid therapy. It belongs to the class of drugs known as narcotic analgesics, which function by acting on the central nervous system to alleviate pain.

Morphine Sulfate 60mg extended-release capsules and tablets should not be used for short-term pain relief, such as post-surgery recovery in Canada. It is not intended for mild pain relief or situations where non-narcotic medications are effective. It should not be used for sporadic or “as-needed” pain.

Prolonged use of morphine may lead to habit formation, causing mental or physical dependence. However, individuals experiencing persistent pain should not refrain from using narcotics to alleviate their pain due to the fear of dependence. It is unlikely to develop mental dependence (addiction) when narcotics are used for this purpose. Physical dependence may result in withdrawal symptoms if the treatment is abruptly discontinued. However, severe withdrawal effects can typically be prevented by gradually tapering the dosage before complete cessation of treatment.

This medication is exclusively available through a restricted distribution program known as the Opioid Analgesic REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) program.
