Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Morphine Sulfate 100 mg Slow Release Capsules (Gluten Free) is a specialized medication designed to manage various types of chronic and acute pain conditions. These include chronic pain, cancer pain, postoperative pain, neuropathic pain, and arthritis pain. The formulation is specifically engineered to provide sustained relief over an extended period, enabling patients to manage their pain more effectively and improve their quality of life.

The slow release formulation is achieved through the use of Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer. This innovative technology allows for the gradual release of the encapsulated medication or active ingredient over time. This sustained release profile offers several benefits, including prolonged therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance. It also helps to mitigate the risk of side effects associated with higher doses of morphine sulfate.

Furthermore, this formulation is gluten-free, making it a suitable choice for patients with celiac disease or other gluten sensitivities. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to morphine sulfate or any of the inactive ingredients in the formulation.

However, this formulation should be used with caution in patients with a history of substance abuse or addiction due to the risk of dependency. If you have any questions about this formulation or its use in treating any of the above-mentioned conditions, please consult with a healthcare professional.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
