Incidentally did you know you can get 10mg diamorphine tablets prescribed in the UK....very rare and only for cancer patients but I would have thought all the medical advantages of diamorphine over morphine sulphate would dissapear if its in tablet for rather than parenteral due to the low oral b.a.
They were prescribed for those who suffered a lot of side-effects from morphine.
They've been all but superseded by oxys for that purpose now, which makes sense given oxy's oral BA. Still, they're a curiosity, aren't they?
