Ms 30 Pill Picture

I got switched from the 30 mg Morphine ER to MS Contin 30 mg. Is there any difference in these two pills? And they switched my 15 mg Morphine ER to 15mg immediate release. Is there any difference between these two pills? If they are my insurance will pay for it. Please let me know. ## Hi Jeffrey - Technically speaking those two pills should contain the same dosage of Morphine (the active ingredient). While I don't have a picture to show you, the 30mg MS Contin Extended release should be round a purple with either the marking "M 30" or "PF M30" depending on which company labeled the prescription.

HOW LONG DOES IT START WORKING, THE 30mg MORPHINE? ## The regular release or time released tablets will take about 20 to 30 minutes to start working. The instant release formulations work much faster. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation.

I have 2 different kinds left but don't know which ones which!? One has a M on one side and Ms30 on the other. The other one has m on one side and abg or something on the other, both are purple.

Could someone please send an image or describe a morphine tablet of 30 mg. I found a small, purplish colored tablet with a M surrounded by a square and 30 on the other side. ## Can you get a hold of an actual copy of The Physician's Desk reference? (PDR) It has an entire section of color photos with most meds pictured... Check your local library... ## it is a morphine 30 mg ## Dude yourself a 30 mg Immediate release Oxycodone....It's a generic brand for Roxicodone. ## WRONG! The 30mgs Oxy with the M in a square is a light green color, not purple. It is manufactured by Mallinckrodt pharmaceuticals. Here's an image of that one: ## The correct ID of this pill, is as the other posters said, Morphine 30mgs, it is also made by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. This is a generic for MS...
