Can drinking too many fluids during the day (and nights sometimes ! ) cause my ER Morphine not to work as well ?
Am I just peeing my meds out ? I have a glass of something with me all day long. Thanks Debi From Georgia |

I can't say I know the answer to that for sure. However, It would make sense to me that you would be flushing out some of the medication.
I use to work with teens and when it came time for their drug testing g they would drink gallons of water to flush out their system. The one thing that may be different with you is the extended relief factor. Wish I could answer your question definitely. Your pharmacist would be a good person to pose that question to. |

Years ago when I had chronic Lyme disease, I was getting weekly intramuscular bicillin injections (I did this for 18 months). My LLMD also prescribed probenecid (if I remember correctly) which I took everyday. The probenecid was supposed to help the bicillin stay in my system longer. So, I am thinking that maybe with your increased fluid intake that you may actually be eliminating the medication from your system more quickly! I would ask your doctor what he thinks! But in my case, I always feel more comfortable talking to others who are going thru similar health problems!!!

I doubt your fluid intake is affecting your morphine.
Here is an article about absorption and excretion of morphine and its metabolites: Morphine Drinking to much fluids can deplete sodium however, and lead to hyponatremia. Hyponatremia Causes - Mayo Clinic Some common drugs can cause hyponatremia: Management of Hyponatremia - American Family Physician opiates (like morphine) appears on this list: A Review of Drug-Induced Hyponatremia (PDF Download Available)
