MS Contin Overdose
MS Contin overdose occurs more often when patients combine MS Contin with other narcotics or alcohol.
Caution with MS Contin
Already
depressed respiratory systems risk a greater chance
of MS Contin overdose, especially if compromised by
health issues such as:
- Acute or chronic pulmonary disorders
- Asthma
- Chest wounds
- Emphysema
- Kyphoscoliosis
- Paralysis of the phrenic nerve
- Severe obesity
- Upper airway obstruction
MS Contin may display greater onset of
elation, pain relief action, and potential dependence
than do other opioid analgesics at comparable pain-relief
doses.
Combining drugs may cause MS Contin overdose or other
impairment to occur.
Administration of MS Contin with other drugs that act
on the central nervous system (CNS) will increase the
risk of severe respiratory depression, which may prove
fatal.
Central nervous system depression is another possible
outcome of MS Contin overdose, among:
- Cardiac arrest
- Circulatory depression
- Respiratory arrest
- Shock
Contraindications for concomitant use
with CNS depressants such as:
- Alcohol
- Antihistamines
- General anesthetics
- Hypnotics
- Other narcotic analgesics
- Other psychotropic drugs
- Phenothiazines
- Sedatives
- Tranquilizers
- See more detailed list. (i)
