(I ONLY USE THIS METHOD FOR THE MALLINCKRODT AND ENDO BRAND MORPHINE SULFATE PILLS THAT TURN INTO A THICK WAXY PASTE AS SOON AS THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH WATER)
I recently came into possession of some Endo (E653) 30 mg morphine pills and the little bastards gell up somthin fierce as soon as they come into contact with water. I figured they were impossible to IV untill I stumbled upon this method of separating the wax from the solution and it works like a charm. Aside from the regular tools of the trade you will need a cotton ball and one of those large needleless syringes that has a screw on cap at the end and come filled with saline solution. (The ones they use at the hospital to flush the IV lines out after they inject somthing through them) Take the plunger out of said needleless saline syringe and pack a piece of the cottonball down into it so that it covers the opening and screw the cap on. It is best to use as little as needed but make sure that it is enough to make a good barrier between the plunger and the hole. Nos you need to crush the pill to a fine powder, put it in a large spoon and add about a half of a standard insulin syringe worth of water. Mix it up good and then use a lighter to heat the solution untill it begins to bubble. As soon as it does then add another half a syringe of REALLY COLD water to it and give it a stir. (This will cool the solution down and solidify any melted wax in your solution) Now pour your solution into your needleless saline syringe with the cottonball filter inside (Make sure the cap is on!). Now put the plunger back in it and make sure you are holding it over whatever you are going to be squirting it into before you take the cap off and then press the plunger down as far as you can so you squeeze out as much of the water out of the wax as possible. If your filter worked correctly you should have a clear solution that has no wax and, unless you are going to run it through a wheel filter first, is ready for IV.
