Janet,

If I am not mistaken, there is a generic for Kadian because it is

just morphine sulfate timed. I take Avinza and when I was in the

hospital for thyroid surgery, they gave me MS Contin and it seemed to

work for me but I went back on Avinza when I went home so I was not on

it long term.

I researched several sites and general consensus is that both work. Everyone is

different though and you have to take what is good for you. Ms. Contin is

cheaper and I am waiting for my insurance to make me go to MS Contin. My

insurances' formulary keeps changing.

Good Luck!
