He tells me he thinks ms contin is good, reads in the "bible" the quick description that it is for acute pain in cancer patients. He looks at the 50 mcg dosage for fentanyl patch and laughs and says that is way too small ( the book didn't list mcg at all BTW - just 25mg, 50mg and 100 mg).
We decide I'll try both and see which works better. The 25mg he decides is too weak for me so Im testing the 50mg patches now and then ms contin if needed.

MS Codin is mophine, isn't it? Is it available in Thailand?

MS Contin is a sustained release form of oral morphine.

Morphine is available in  Thailand only from hospital pharmacies and sales are strictly controlled.

Thanks. I was watching a documentary about morphine for those in severe pain recently and am glad that it is available in Thailand. It seems to me that banning it because of the war on drug is a crime when some patients need pain relief desperately and it is so cheap to produce.
