Morphine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

You should not take this medicine if you have severe asthma or breathing problems, a blockage in your stomach or intestines, or a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus. Morphine can slow or stop your breathing, and may be habit-forming. MISUSE OF THIS MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Taking this medicine during pregnancy may cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. Fatal side effects can occur if you use this medicine with alcohol, or with other drugs that cause drowsiness or slow your breathing. What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using Arymo ER (morphine)? You should not take this medicine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to morphine or other narcotic medicines, or if you have: severe asthma or breathing problems; or a blockage in your stomach or intestines. Do not use morphine if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine, and others. To make sure morphine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had: any type of breathing problem or lung disease; a head injury, brain tumor, or seizures; a drug or alcohol addiction, or mental illness; urination problems; liver or kidney disease; problems with your gallbladder, pancreas, or thyroid; or if you use a sedative like Valium (diazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam, Ativan, Klonopin, Restoril, Tranxene, Versed, Xanax, and others). Some medicines can interact with morphine and cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome.

If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. Do not stop using morphine suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

Morphine is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription. Do not keep leftover morphine pills or liquid.

If you take morphine 2 times per day: Take your next dose 12 hours after taking the missed dose. If you take morphine 1 time per day: Take your next dose 24 hours after taking the missed dose.
