What Experts Say

Pain specialists often choose a sustained release opioid for patients whose pain lasts throughout the day and night. This capsule form releases the medicine gradually, which helps avoid the sharp ups and downs in pain relief that come with fast acting painkillers taken several times a day.

Long term use of any opioid medicine carries a real risk of tolerance and physical dependence, so most physicians prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest reasonable time. A combination of this medicine with other sedating drugs, including sleeping pills, muscle relaxants, or alcohol, raises the risk of slowed or stopped breathing.

Older adults and people with liver or kidney disease often need a lower starting dose, since the body clears the medicine more slowly than usual. Regular follow up visits allow a doctor to confirm that pain control remains adequate while watching closely for side effects or signs of dependence.
