Addiction
to MS Contin and Effective Treatment
Avinza, Kadian, Oramorph SR, and MS Contin are the representative
brand names that thrill the frantic souls. Studies show
that Contin trend constitutes the broadest statistics on
the global drug problem. Figures depict the increasing percentage
of Contin use all over the word. As a result, today cases
of Contin addiction have become a common sight.
MS Contin, mainly a controlled-release
tablet containing morphine, is prescribed for moderate to
severe pain. While the Kadian brand may be taken, once or
twice a day, regular morphine is usually prescribed every
4 hours. Patients must take immense care while consuming
the sustained-release tablet. They must not break, crush,
or chew the tablet as this will release a large amount of
MS Contin, which directly gets absorbed into their body
at once, and this can be dangerous as it may cause an overdose
and serious adverse reactions, hence physicians advice users
to swallow the tablet with a drink of water.
For those who have trouble swallowing MS Contin
sustained-release capsules they may open them and sprinkle
the contents on some applesauce. In addition, one must not
divide it into other doses or save portions.
MS Contin, also prescribed for treating pain associated
with cancer, heart attacks, sickle cell disease, and other
medical conditions has drastic side effects if abused.
Of the most hazardous potential side effects, MS Contin
produces respiratory depression and older patients may be
at special risk esp. if they have a lung or breathing problem.
Other common side effects may include Anxiety, constipation,
depressed or irritable mood, dizziness, drowsiness, exaggerated
sense of well-being, light-headedness, nausea, sedation,
sweating, and vomiting.
Once a person gets habituated to taking MS Contin, trying
to stop him from taking it may lead to experiencing some
degree of narcotic withdrawal syndrome and the user may
have dilated pupils, goose bumps, restlessness, restless
sleep, runny nose, sweating, tearing, or yawning.
Treatment
With narcotic abuse reaching unreasonable height all over
the world, there has been an immediate requirement to curb
the widespread abuse of such hazardous substances and drugs.
Pharmacological
Approaches
Presently, there are no medications available to treat
MS Contin addiction completely. However, voluntary organizations
have been assertively hunting for a solution to treat Contin
addiction.
In addition to the problems of Contin overdose medical treatments
are being developed to deal with the sensitive emergencies
resulting from excessive Contin abuse.
Behavioral Treatments
Behavioral therapies have been found to be effective for
Contin addiction and other drug problems, including both
residential and outpatient approaches. However, integration
of both types of treatments is suggested, as it is very
important to match the best treatment procedure to meet
the needs of the patient.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is another approach. It plays
an important role in the development and continuation of
MS Contin abuse and dependence. It endeavors to help patients
to recognize, avoid, and cope with situations in which they
are most likely to use MS Contin.
