Availability of Morphine
• Sufficiently available most of the times at the Cancer
Units. But the instant release Morphine tablets some
times are out of stock.
• Hospices receive oral morphine stocks from near by
Cancer Units. Injectables are bought from Medical
Supplies division.
• The duration of Morphine prescribed is from one week
– one month
Prescribing Morphine
• Any registered Medical Practitioner at the Sri Lanka
Medical Council (SLMC) can prescribe
• No special prescription forms required
• No special training required.
• Nurses are not allowed to prescribe
•
Prescribing Morphine
• It is usually started using WHO Pain ladder concept
from mild pain medicines to Strong Opioids .
• Then doses are increased to achieve a good pain
relief.
• But when prescribing Morphine to take home the
duration varies from 1 – 4 weeks from one cancer
unit to other.
• As long as the patient is not having much side
effects, full course is given depending on the
availability of drugs.
Prescribing Morphine
• As Oral morphine is only available in the Government sector,
when prescribe on a particular date, on the same day patient
has to get the drug free of charge from the hospital pharmacy.
( This applies to all medications).
Prescribing Morphine
• If a doctor violates general prescribing principles for any
medications, he/ she can be called for explanations by the
Ministry of Health Administration or Sri Lanka Medical
Council.
• Regulation does not require reporting names of patients who
receive opioid prescriptions to the government.
Prescribing Morphine
•
Ministry of Health, Sri Lanka provide free health care
through government hospitals through out the country .
Therefore cost is not a factor for prescription of Opioids
Supply Chain of Opioids in Sri Lanka
Medical Supplies Division (MSD) of Ministry of Health
purchased all controlled drugs through the State
Pharmaceutical Corporation (SPC) through
competitive bidding via Global Tenders
MSD directly supplies drugs to all hospitals (Teaching,
Provincial General Hospitals, Special Hospitals including
National Cancer Institute, Maharagama) belong to Line
Ministry of Health.
Drugs to hospitals belong to Provincial Ministries of Health
are provided through the Regional Medical Supplies
Divisions (RMSD) of 25 districts.
