Embeda contains morphine, an opioid agonist, and is a Schedule II controlled substance. Opioid agonists have the potential for being abused and are sought by drug abusers and people with addiction disorders and are subject to criminal diversion.
Morphine can be abused in a manner similar to other opioid agonists, legal or illicit. This should be considered when prescribing or dispensing Embeda in situations where the physician or pharmacist is concerned about an increased risk of misuse, abuse, or diversion.
Abuse of Embeda by crushing, chewing, snorting, or injecting the dissolved product will result in the uncontrolled delivery of the opioid and pose a significant risk to the abuser that could result in overdose and death.
Concerns about abuse and addiction should not prevent the proper management of pain. Healthcare professionals should contact their State Professional Licensing Board or State Controlled Substances Authority for information on how to prevent and detect abuse of this product.
Embeda is an extended-release formulation of morphine (with a sequestered core of naltrexone). All pharmaceutical products stay in your system for 5 times the time it takes to reduce the amount of drug in your body by half. For Embeda this is 29 hours -so it will take 5-6 days for all of the morphine to be out of your system.
Embeda is extended-release morphine (with sequestered naltrexone) and roxicodone is immediate-release oxycodone. Morphine and oxycodone provide similar pain relief if the dose is properly adjusted. Work closely with your pain doctor to adjust the dose and Embeda should work just a well or better than multiple doses of roxicodone.
The pellets in the Embeda capsules are not to be crushed, dissolved, or chewed. The resulting morphine dose may be fatal, particularly in opioid-naïve individuals. In opioid-tolerant individuals, the absorption of naltrexone may increase the risk of precipitating withdrawal.
