Kadian alleviated chronic pain in patients unsuccessfully treated with well-known therapies
New data presented at American Pain Society Meeting
Atlanta and Vancouver, May 6, 2004 - Arnold Weil, M.D., founder of the Non-Surgical Orthopaedic & Spine Center, is presenting new data at the 2nd Joint Scientific Meeting of the American Pain Society and the Canadian Pain Society demonstrating that patients who were treated unsuccessfully with MS Contin® and OxyContin® found pain relief with Kadian, a sustained-release morphine sulfate. Kadian, approved to treat moderate-to-severe chronic pain, is designed with a unique polymer-coated pellet technology that avoids the initial release of morphine at the start of the dose and may reduce the "high" patients report experiencing with other oral pain-management therapies. The data also showed a broad range of significant improvements in physical and mental impairment for patients treated with the drug.
