WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Since opioids such as morphine have life-threatening

consequences if overdosed, this recall should be taken

seriously. These consequences can include difficulty breathing,

and low blood pressure. Patients may also experience increased

drowsiness or impaired judgment.

If you are using morphine sulfate 30 mg or 60 mg extended

release tablets, check your bottle to find out who it was made

by. The 60 mg product is a white oval tablet with “60†on

one side, and “E†on the reverse. The 30 mg product is a

pink oval tablet with “30†on one side, and “E†on the

reverse. If your tablets are made by Ethex Corporation and your

bottle has a " lot " number printed on it that matches the number

listed in the recall, you should return them to your pharmacy to

examine and possibly exchange.

If you are not sure who has made your tablets, or cannot find a

" lot " number, please take your bottle to your pharmacist for

them to check as soon as possible. If you have any other

questions about the recall, you should contact your physician,

pharmacist, or other health care provider.
