IVing 100mg retard granulate

[bogumil]

Imagine, SWIM is sitting there with the folleing items:

• MST 100 Retard-Granulate

Containing: 1.943g granulate with
- 100mg morphinesulfate 5H2O in form of:
morphine-poly(styrole-codivinylbenzol)sulfonate.

made for drinking after suspending in water.

• a 25mm syringe filter 0.2 ym Supor membrane, sterile for injection
• a junky-shotgun 2ml 26G x 1/2"

Here is a pic of the stuff:


SWIM thinks that the granulate isnt injectable cause it is "retarded" (haha) (Retard-Granulate)

So is there a chance to get this into SWIMS veins or muscles? SWIMS hope is the syringe filter but then again, the stuff isnt plain morphine sulfate but this strange morphine-polystyrole ... So SWIM is not going to IV this until he knows what it is. So hes hoping for some people who know about this, to tell him what to do...

Maybe you can help me out. Would be very great. ...

Edited: I googled and found, that this stuff is morphine sulfate bound to polysterole to make it slow release. It lasts 12 hours when one drinks the granulate dissolved in water. So definately a good thing for pain patients (who reported a better pain management and pain of only 3 points, compared to 7-10 points before treatment with mst retard-granulate on a scale of 10).
But a bad thing for injection I would say. Oh well. SWIM will probably take the chance to stop using H for a while and take the slow release instead. Maybe lowers tolerance.

Im wondering if it would help to imitate the ingestion? Like, letting it rest for 20 hours in a solution of very slightly acidic water? The water with HCl would do the same as the acid in the stomach ... the morphine would slowly go over from the polystyrole-complex into the aqueous with acid, bind to the acid and the polystyrole would sink to the bottom ... then SWIM could decant, filter the liquid with 0.2 ym and dry it. Should yield morphine-HCl, or?
