Avinza (Morphine) for Spondylitis

Overview
Avinza is a prescription drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat severe pain in cases where long-term, continual pain relief is needed and other treatments are not effective. Avinza may also be referred to by its drug name, morphine.

Avinza is an opioid that works as a potent analgesic (painkiller). Avinza is believed to work by reducing the perception of pain.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, regular use of opioids - even as prescribed by a doctor - can lead to dependence. If misused, opioids can cause overdose and death.

How do I take it?
Avinza is taken orally once a day.

Avinza is available as an extended-release capsule.
