POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Route of administration: oral
_MST CONTINUS_
®
tablets should be swallowed whole and not broken, chewed or crushed.
The administration of
broken, chewed or crushed tablets may lead to a rapid release and
absorption of a potentially fatal dose of morphine
(refer to
_Overdose)_
.
_MST CONTINUS_
®
tablets should be used at 12-hourly intervals. The dosage is dependent
upon the severity of the
pain, the patient's age and previous history of analgesic
requirements.
Drug product is not recommended preoperatively or within the first 24
hours postoperatively.
Adults:
A patient presenting with severe pain, uncontrolled by weaker opioids
(e.g. dihydrocodeine) should normally be
started on 30 mg 12 hourly. Patients previously on normal release oral
morphine should be given the same total
daily dose as
_MST CONTINUS_
®
tablets but in divided doses at 12-hourly intervals.
Increasing severity of pain will require an increased dosage of the
tablets. Higher doses should be made, where
possible in 30-50% increments as required. The correct dosage for any
individual patient is that which is sufficient
to control pain with no, or tolerable, side effects for a full 12
hours. It is recommended that the 200 mg strength is
reserved for patients who have already been titrated to a stable
analgesic dose using lower strengths of morphine or
other opioid preparatio
