Driver

My mum has been put on a driver for anti sickness but was given an injection for oramorph is that normal or should it of been put through driver. 

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your mum's situation, this must be a difficult time for everyone.

    If your mum is needing regular pain relief including morphine then this could be added to the syringe driver. However if your mum is only needing morphine occasionally this may not be necessary.

    It is worth asking the doctor and nurses involved in your mum's care about this to make sure your mum is receiving her medication in the most appropriate route for her.

    I hope this helps.

    Take care
