Is There A 150 Mg Extended Release Of Morphine Available Instead Of 100 & 30 Mg?

My son is currently on 100 mg and 30 mg extended release morphine as he has Stage IV lung cancer. His insurance is stating they only fill a certain amount of pills per month on his insurance so he has been forced to purchase his last dose of 100mg out of pocket. Is there a 150 mg extended release?

i dont know where you stay. I cannot tell you about status in United status but in India it is not available. 10mg and 30mg are available in India. Also sustained release fentanyl patches are available in various strengths. But all these require doctor prescription in India, they are not OTC drugs
