RE: breakthrough pain medication/Jan

[Guest guest]

Hi Jan

There is a rapid release, short acting morphine called MSIR (morphine

sulphate instant relief) that could be used as a substitute for the Vicodin.

It's probably very expensive.

If the Kadian isn't too effective, nor the Vicodin for breakthrough pain

aren't working, your physician needs to examine you and re-evaluate your

case.

Sometimes the reason the medications no longer work is because our condition

has changed.
