Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
The prevalence of itching when on strong (opioid) pain medication is very common. It's hard to treat as common anti-itch medications don't work. There is a medication called Capsaicin that may help.
March 20, 2018 - 12:01pmAsk your doctor for advice on this matter and see if your morphine dosages can be reduced somewhat so as to relieve you of the itching.
Best,
Susan
