Suggest Alternate Over The Counter Medication For Morphine
I have had to go on government insurance and they are refusing to pay for my MS Contin so I am trying to find a solution by suggesting an immediate release form of morphine or something more affordable. I am having trouble finding a web site that will give me a list of all available forms of this medication. Do you have any suggestions. The pharmacy is making me pay 194 dollars a month for this and I cant afford it and I have a legitimate need for it due to degenerative disc disorder. I am essentially unable to walk without it.

Hello,
Morphine or related high-end analgesics are prescription drugs mainly because of their abuse properties. You can consider NSAID group of drugs like aceclofenac or diclofenac which are available over the counter.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
