Background context
Extended-release morphine
Extended-release (or slow-release) formulations of morphine are those whose effect lasts substantially longer than bare morphine, availing for, e.g., one administration per day. Conversion between extended-release and immediate-release (or "regular") morphine is easier than conversion to or from an equianalgesic dose of another opioid with different half-life, with less risk of altered pharmacodynamics.
