Need a quick answer re Oramorph

Hi

If he is taking Neurofen Plus that (I believe) that one contains Codeine; so yes you are right he should not double up with that and Oromorph as codeine is a morphine based product as well.  Wait until the time for his next Neurofen before offering the Oromorph.

There are some pain relief tablets he can take alongside Oromorph though.

I copied this from an NHS website but do check with his GP etc first as he may be on other meds too ?

Thank you. I can hear him snoring next door bless his heart so he must have got comfortable. I think the next dose of pain relief will need to be the morphine which has me sobbing as feel like it’s a huge step in how he is doing. Thank you for replying 

Hi again

It's about getting the pain management to the correct level so check how he is with the first dose. If he shows signs of being zonked out or away with the fairies do see if you can get the dosage level reduced little by little until it does the job with minimal side effects.

There is a lot of info about Morphine Based Meds here at CRUK (cancer research uk)

It may seem a big step but it is only about getting better pain relief to make him more comfortable - constant pain even when the patient tries to hide it will wear them down mentally and is very tiring to cope with for both of you.

Hope he (and you) have a better day, G n' J

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I will have a read 

Morning

Did you manage to persuade your husband to try the Oromorph, and if so how is he with it ?
