Product Information
KADIAN has been shown to effectively treat moderate-to-severe chronic pain. KADIAN (morphine medication) has a unique delivery system that provides more consistent pain control for up to 24 hours. Morphine is a naturally occurring opiate derived from the poppy plant (papaver somniferum). It is one of the stronger pain relievers. Morphine and morphine-like drugs work well for pain and are safe when taken as directed by your health care professional. These narcotics, which are also called opioids, are likely to be prescribed if you have moderate-to-severe pain. While the possibility for becoming hooked exists with any morphine-based product, addiction is less likely if you have never had previous addiction problems. Over time, your body may become tolerant of your current dose and will require a dose adjustment to achieve adequate pain relief. This is not addiction; it is merely your body adjusting to the medication. Please be sure to share any and all concerns you may have regarding morphine with your health care professional. KADIAN can provide up to 24-hour pain control. KADIAN can be taken either once a day or twice a day based on the direction of your health care professional. KADIAN provides smoother and more consistent pain relief that may help you maintain an active lifestyle.
