Immunotherapy treatment

Hi ,I am on my 13th immunotherapy,have just recently been to a and e. As my head felt like it had 1000, Arrows just jumping on the top of my head.  I was in overnight and came home with naproxen 250 mg, two times a day, this helped 60%. But I feel like I'm not getting them every 4 hour and the pain starts shooting again. Am I on the right medication. I do have morphine that clattabrige gave me,  I am just wandering if I can top up with this as well as taking naproxen. Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    I am sorry to hear of this. If you have been prescribed morphine, then you can take the dose at the intervals prescribed on the bottle. Morphine can help, but has side effects of drowsiness, and can also cause constipation with regular use. If you have not updated your hospital team about your pain, then do let them know.

    It may also be helpful for you to contact your GP so they know what is currently going on with you as well. You can seek advice from your local pharmacist about your morphine too.

    I hope that this helps,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
