Opioids Morphine sulphate slow release IV?

[the frozen north]

Is there a safe method to remove the purple wax on morphine sulphate continuos tablet and then dissolving them in bac water for IV use?
Many thanks.

If I recall correctly MS Contin cannot be dissolved to a point to be IV-ed. Tried it a few years back with many methods and seems the time-release mechanism is not its coating but throughout the pill itself.
Maybe someone can help with this but chewing them up thoroughly is the only way I have found to get more of the dope in the system quicker.
Peace

Here is a bit of Harm Reduction material that may be worth a read:

Effect of filtration on morphine and particle content of injections prepared from slow-release oral morphine tablets

Injections of mixtures prepared from crushed tablets contain insoluble particles which can cause embolisms and other complications. Although many particles can be removed by filtration, many injecting drug users do not filter due to availability, cost ...

Are MS Contin capsules with wax-like beads in them? Then extraction is easy, just pour the beads into a spoon filled with water, heat it over a flame upon which the beads will dissolve and leave an oily layer on top of the water. Let it cool, the wax solidifies again and can be discarded. The morpine is now in the water. But of course do still use good filtration practice to be safe.

Hi they're MST continuous 30mg tablets. Would this process still work?

If you say tablets then I would say, unfortunately, no. The process I posted only works with bead-filled capsules of a certain type.
