Can I Still Take The Medicine If It Is Broken Into Pieces?
I take Ms continued 15mg every 12 hours for pain management.. My next doc appt is tomorrow I m down to my last pill and due to either humidity or it got wet, it broke into 3 peices.... Can I still take it or will the break cause an over dose I hurt extremely bad and my ibuprofen is not helping... I m scared to take it but hurt very much.. Please advise..

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Not so good. but not so bad. MSCONTIN is made to be a bit long lasting, this is messed up (somewhat, not totally) if it breaks into a few pieces. It will start and stop a bit faster. It is NOT dangerous.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
