15mg Morphine Er

Updated

Has anyone had experience using this drug to slow or treat chronic diarrhea? I have short bowel syndrome and had 2 resections leaving me with the diarrhea. We are now trying different treatments.

It does cause constipation, in some cases very severely, as a side effect, so it has been used for this and has worked for some people.

The only way to see if it will work for you, however, is to actually try it.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Verwon is quite correct in asserting that morphine sulphate will cause a degree of constipation or, more in keeping with your problem, relief from diarrhoea.
However the much weaker analgesic codeine phosphate is much more effective in that regard and even better is dihydrocodeine tartrate, possibly the most constipating opioid bar perhaps loperamide, an opioid with little or no analgesic effect.
DHC Continus 120mg would be my choice - a 12 hourly fomulation of just the right strength to produce the desired effects. If the problem is less chronic and you think it is better treated on a prn basis then DF118 40mg or generic 30mg tablets are just as effective. Being IR, a dose of 80-90mg should be sufficient. You'll need around 150mg cod phos to get the same effect as the dihydro though.
