Is Exalgo Available Only In Extended Release Form? I Am

Is Exalgo available only in extended release form? I am currently taking morphine sulfate ER 60mg
twice a day and oxycodone hcl 15mg 4 times a day. Last month I was using the fentanyl patch 50mg.
I found the pain relief much better with the fentanyl, but I could not deal with the patch coming unstuck
constantly. I have taken 8mg of dilaudid 3 times a day a few years ago, but not under my current doctor.
My insurance company says they pay for exalgo, but not the extended release. Also, how much exalgo
should I be taking considering the dosage of pain meds I wish to switch from? Thank you for listening to
me. Sincerely, Pamela
