Narcotics From Teva

Updated

my friend has gallbladder cancer and is given a narc pill made by teva which does not agree with her. She cannot find the name of it, and is too emotional to act clearly. Can you tell me what it could be? It is a long acting drug, said to be some kind of -contin. Thanks.

Cancer patients are normally given oxycontin. It can have nasty side effects.

Some options are morphine or methadone. They have their own side effects.

Or try another manufacturer. All brands are different.

Hello, Anne!

What does she mean that it doesn't agree with her? What type of symptoms is she experiencing?

There is Oxycontin, MS Contin and Hydromorphcontin, so it could be any one of the 3! All of them can cause nausea, dizziness and GI issues.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
