Mst Continus

What is MST Continus 5 mg used for?

It’s used for long-term pain. Sometimes you may take different types of morphine to manage long term pain and sudden flares of pain that break through the medicine. Standard tablets are known by the brand name Sevredol. Slow-release tablets are known by brand names MST Continus or Morphgesic SR.

How long does it take for MST to start working?

It works almost straight away. Morphine tablets and liquid work in 30 to 60 minutes but wear off after 4 to 6 hours. Slow-release morphine can take a day or two to start working but the pain relief will last for longer.
