Hello,
I requested some Oramorph from the Doctors for my Father who has cancer in his Sinus and mouth however, when I collected the prescription from the pharmacist the bottle said Morphine Oral Solution. I'm now afraid to give it to him because he has Pulmonary fibrosis as well and when I read up about Morphine it says not to give it to patients who have lung problems that cause shortness of breath.
The reason I requested the Oramorph was not only for the pain my dad is in from cancer but also because I'd read that Oramorph in small doses can help with breathlessness.
I also think that when my Dad sees the bottle with Morphine written on it he'll refuse to take it. if it said Oramorph he probably wouldn't associate it with Morphine.
I'm now very confused and unsure what to do.
