Might be able to offer you some help. I was on Avinza, and yes it is costly. I found few years ago a website or place to get my medicine and you can have an income. Go to www.FreeMedicine.com to request application. The good thing is can have income level of $80K and family of four. Some sponsors offer help for patients who can't afford their co-insurance fees. I was paying $5.00 for s/h to be delivered by Fedex or UPS. I suggest to check out website, they carry over 5,000 types of medicines. They do charge a fee for each medication. Last I checked it was $10.00 and if they cannot provide you with the type you need they will return the fee if you write and request it back. If I had not found this place I would not have been able to get the kinds of medications I needed. I was awaiting the long process of Soc. Sec. decision, and unable to work at the time. I wish you luck and hope this place can assist you.

Either way, Oramorph and MS Contin are the same thing, they both are Morphine in a controlled release formulation, so there is really no difference.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

You can read more on it here:

Unfortunately, most assistance places do not provide help if you do have insurance, they are designed specifically for people that do not have any coverage. That is the way Pparx works.

Do you have any other questions?
