Morphine is a prescription medication that is given for moderate to severe pain. Since it is not metabolized in the liver, morphine cannot cause liver damage.

Is there a drug interaction between Tylenol and ms contin?

MS Contin is Morphine. It is a long acting formulation of morphine. Tylenol and Morphine are both metabolized through the liver. An average adult is usually limited to 1600mg units of Tylenol a 24 hour period. More Tylenol then that can cause damage. The drugs work in different places of the body yet are both processed through the organ of the liver. The major concern is straining the liver. Too much morphine can cause respiratory distress leading to a life threatening situation and too much Tylenol can cause a toxicity in the liver with permanent complications including death. It is advised you seek specific information from your pharmacist and medical care provider in the usage of these medications on a case by case situation.
