Hi, I take Oramorph daily for pain, but I see that it has a fair amount of sugar in it. Has anyone been prescribed a sugar free version? Has it affected your sugar levels? I’ve asked my GP about sugar free versions but he still hasn’t got back to me. I suspect that if there is a sugar free version it will be more expensive?

Thanks in advance
 
If it does contain sugar I would think the amount would be so small that it would not matter anyway !
 
There appears to be inconsistency. Some products report 'sugar free', some 'contains sucrose'. No mention of artificial sweeteners, but I reckon there probably is.
Wockardt version says 1.5g/5ml. A pharmacist is really good at rooting these things out. The formulary has definitely changed over the years, and I find it to be a bitter, distasteful taste currently. The version I had last year reports 'contains sucrose' certainly never affected or spiked my blood sugars.

Edit: artificial sweeteners.
