Oramorph side effects

I only take 2.5mg of oramorph as and when needed because I don’t like feeling out of control, however the last couple of times I’ve had a strange sensation in my chest , like a pressing feeling, occasional tingly arms , both, breathlessness,  so reverted back to other pain meds for now , but not as powerful as oramorph 

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    I am sorry to hear that you have had some symptoms after taking oramorph. It is quite a small dose, so it wouldn't be that common to have those symptoms.

    Do discuss it with your local pharmacist or your GP. There are other alternative painkillers that you could try, but most of them do need a doctor's prescription.

    I am sorry that we cannot be of more specific help on this occasion.

    I hope that you get this addressed soon,

    Best Wishes,

    Vanda
