Actavis 60mg Morphine Sulfate...less Effective

I was taking 60mg of morphine sulfate from Rhodes. The pharmacy said they didn't come in and gave me the Actavis brand instead. They do not work for my pain at all and give me horrible stomach pains! The pharmacist brushed me off, saying they all have the same ingredients! I can't find a picture of it on the internet....it's round, tan, with a 311 on one side & a half moon on the other side. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello, well this is the first time I have seen these pills too, normally i do not take morphine, unless oxycodone cannot be prescribed. I wouldn't get the 311 orange/blue moon 60 mg morphine. I normally take 30-40 mgs of oxycodone, And with these new pills that we just mentioned, I need to take multiple doses for pain relief.

Yes, this is listed by Actavis as containing 60mgs of Morphine in a time released formulation, it is a generic for MS Contin.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Have you discussed the problem with your prescriber? You may need a dosage adjustment.
