MST Continus 10mg is a powerful prescription opioid painkiller. The 60-tablet box contains a 30-day supply (taken twice daily). Each tablet contains 10mg of Morphine Sulfate in a special prolonged-release formula.
It is prescribed by doctors to treat severe, long-lasting pain (such as cancer pain or severe post-surgical pain) that cannot be controlled by weaker pain relievers.
MST Continus uses a specialized extended-release system to provide continuous pain relief:
Slow, Steady Release: Unlike quick-acting morphine, "Prolonged Release" (PR) means the tablet slowly releases morphine into your body over 12 hours.
Blocks Pain Signals: Morphine attaches to specific opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to block strong pain signals from reaching the brain.
🚨 CRITICAL OVERDOSE HAZARD: MST Continus tablets must be swallowed WHOLE.
Crushing, chewing, breaking, or dissolving the tablet releases the entire 12-hour dose of morphine all at once (dose dumping), which can cause a fatal overdose.
🚨 Emergency Warning: Morphine can slow down your breathing to dangerous levels.
Take ONLY the exact dose prescribed by your doctor. Never take extra tablets.
🚨 Fatal Interaction Danger: Drinking alcohol or taking sleeping pills, tranquilizers, or other strong painkillers while on MST Continus can cause extreme sleepiness, respiratory collapse, or death.
🚨 Keep Away from Children & Others: Even a single tablet can be fatal to a child or someone who is not used to taking strong opioid medicines. Keep the box locked away securely.
Take Every 12 Hours: Take one tablet twice daily, 12 hours apart (e.g., 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM) at the same times every day.
Swallow Whole: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Take it with or without food.
Do NOT Stop Abruptly: Never stop taking MST Continus suddenly. Stopping abruptly can cause severe withdrawal symptoms like restlessness, sweating, muscle aches, vomiting, and anxiety. Your doctor will help you gradually lower your dose when it is time to stop.
If you miss a dose by less than 6 hours, take it as soon as you remember.
If it has been more than 6 hours, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at your usual scheduled time. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed tablet.
Severe constipation (your doctor will usually prescribe a regular laxative alongside morphine).
Feeling sleepy, drowsy, or dizzy.
Mild nausea or vomiting.
Dry mouth or sweating.
Very slow, shallow, or difficult breathing.
Extreme tiredness, inability to stay awake, or severe confusion.
Fast, irregular heartbeat or fainting.
Signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of face, lips, or throat).
Keep tablets inside their original blister pack and box to protect from light and moisture.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep strictly locked away out of the reach of children and visitors.
