Hi I ran out of Zomr ph capsules and obviously will have to wait for the pharmacy to open. My last tablet was Friday am. I am now getting restless legs and arms  and cant get to sleep . Can I  take some oromorph to counteract the effects of lack of zomorph ?

  • Hi Spik,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I just wanted to send a reply to say that unfortunately our nurses aren't available over the weekend - you should receive a reply from them soon. However hopefully by then you will have been able to get some support, including from a pharmacist this morning.

    Best wishes,

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    Yes, you can take the oramorph as prescribed on the bottle label. It is usually taken every 6 hours at the prescribed dose. You can also ring your local pharmacy for advice. You can organise automatic repeat prescriptions, and in most areas, arrange for the pharmacy to do home delivery to you, to ensure you don't run out of medications.

    I hope this helps,

    Kind regards,
