Morphine Gel

Hello,

We had a request from palliative care to compound morphine gel. We wanted to see how other hospitals operationalize it. Would love to see some suggestions on the following:
- How to dispense it? Some use small jars, others use blister packs?
- What directions are provided to nurses as to how much to apply to the wound?
- How to discard any extra amount that is left? Does anyone use CsRx to dispose of the unused amount?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Viktoriya
