""SNORTING MEDICATION""THERE ARE MANY WAYS that medication can enter your system. Many routes include: anally (suppository), sublingal (under your tongue), IM (intramuscular shot), IV (intravenous shot) SC (subcutaneous shot), orally (swallow it), intranasally (sniff it up your nose). The three quickest routes are: under your tongue (lots of blood vessels and cappilaries), up your nose (lots of blood vessels and cappilaries) and up your butt (lots of blood vessels and cappilaries). The question is why would you want to snort morphine? It might get in your blood stream a little quicker, but in the process, you will damage the tissues in your nose. The only thing you should "snort" is nose drops or anything else that is specifically made for your nose. For some reason, people think they might get "high" if they snort a medication instead of swallowing it. I guess that stems from the idea that if you can get high snorting cocaine or heroin, then any medication you snort will get you high. The problem with that idea is that it is the drug that gets you high, not how you get into your bloodsteam. Think of it this way: you will get high from cocaine or heroin whether you snort it, eat it, smoke it, or stick it up your butt. <<>> AnswerIf the extended release morphine is being prescribed to you for pain, your doctor probably told you that you should swallow it. The only other option is to open the capsule, mix the contents in applesauce, and eat the applesauce. All the literature on the medication is very adamant that you DO NOT crush, grind up, snort, chew, or otherwise mangle the pill. The reason for this is that you've got a very, very potent narcotic, and if you snort it, it is absorbed way too fast for your body to handle, which could be very dangerous, depending on the strength of the dose. So just follow your doctor's directions exactly with these medications - they're useful for controlling pain, but they need to be respected.


Answer

It is best to take it as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you are unsure, read the box that they came in or contact your pharmacist.
