Hello all, My mum has various problems and suffers with constant pain of varying levels with times that is too much to cope with . At times like this my mum is to take Oramorph 5ml for breakthrough pain. The GP only issues a 100ml
bottle at a time , this can vary in how long a bottle will last depending upon the amount of breakthrough is experienced. i.e, 1 bottle can last just 2 weeks (10ml =10 days) so my mum tries to get by on stretching it cope with on;y 5 ml somedays as she worries about requesting a new bottle to early . my mum cannot take paracetamol based drugs,has thyroxine and has to be on warferin . Question is is this a high dose? is there an eqivalent drug that my mum could have as she is worried about addiction although she has found over the last 2 years that she can take when required and doesn't have any problems or desiring need to have when not in great pain,this i am sure shows over her repeat script record .
