Morphine Sulfate 10 mg Troche is a potent analgesic medication formulated to alleviate moderate to severe pain. This narcotic analgesic functions by altering the brain and nervous system's response to pain. The unique formulation of this medication is in the form of a troche, which is a square-shaped solid dosage form designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth.

The troche form allows for the medication to be delivered through oral mucosa absorption, providing targeted local or systemic effects. This method of delivery ensures a steady release of the medication, offering prolonged pain relief compared to other dosage forms. Morphine Sulfate 10 mg Troche is specifically indicated for the relief of moderate to severe pain.

It is crucial to understand that Morphine Sulfate 10 mg Troche should be used for short-term pain relief only.

Therefore, this medication should only be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional and should not be used longer than the prescribed duration.

Patients are advised to follow the directions on the prescription label meticulously and to take the medication exactly as prescribed.
