Is a 54 262 moraphine an instant release?

Extended Release
You have to be very careful of what you're taking I find it odd that you're questioning something that's been prescribed to you if you've been taking it for any length of time
if you're not sure consult your pharmacist or prescribing provider
No it is not extended release.
Its strange you don't know what you're taking. It is immediate release morphine.
When mine came in a bottle that is marked 30 MG SR and is white it made me wonder so I checked by the numbers to be sure. The pill was white so that has always been IR. I have been taking it for 9 years so I can see why the other person was in doubt. Either I put some in the wrong bottle when putting it in the pill box or they filled it wrong. I don't put the IR in my daily pill box so little chance of that.. Some things you want to be really sure about.
The one with 54/262 30mg isn't instant. I've been taking these a long time. I've had the instant ones before, they are extended for sure.
