You might be very interested to know, that the FDA just approved a "Morphine Oral Sulfate Solution" to be used for the relief of chronic, acute, severe and even moderate pain for certain patients. Well now...Who qualifies? Opioid-Tolerant patients. They qualify according to the FDA in a new release. Approval is part of FDA's unapproved drugs initiative.

FDA has approved morphine for some time, yet this concetration and form was not approved until now. Roxane Laboratories, the manufacturer of the now-approved product is working with the FDA to ensure enough of the Morphine Oral Sulfate Solution will be available to patients that need it. Find your doctor listed in the Medical Directory on MedicalMile.com for more information.

One benefit of the FDA approval process is a requirement for manufacturers to provide sufficient information on how to safely prescribe and use a drug. Manufacturers may also have to establish additional safety measures to manage unique risks of a medicine. For this formulation of morphine, the manufacturer had to develop a safety program prior to approval to address the known risks of morphine misuse, abuse and overdose.
