INFUMORPH 200, INFUMORPH 500

What is this medication? Infumorph 200 and Infumorph 500 are concentrated, preservative-free solutions of morphine sulfate used for the long-term management of severe chronic pain. This medication is specifically designed for administration through a continuous microinfusion device, such as a programmed pump implanted surgically or used externally. It is delivered directly into the epidural or intrathecal space surrounding the spinal cord to provide targeted pain relief while potentially minimizing certain systemic side effects compared to high-dose oral opioids.

These medications are typically reserved for patients with intractable pain who have not achieved adequate relief from less invasive treatments or who experience intolerable side effects from other delivery methods. Because Infumorph is a potent opioid agonist, it carries significant risks of respiratory depression, physical dependence, and addiction. It must only be administered by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting to ensure the delivery device is properly calibrated and the patient is monitored for safety.
