What is the current price of morphine in India?
Morphine prices in India vary a lot by formulation (injection vs oral), strength (e.g., mg per tablet/ampoule), and whether the product is branded or generic. Exact “current” shelf prices can also differ by state, pharmacy, and whether the medicine is supplied through government procurement or private retail.
Because you did not specify the form/strength, I can’t give a single reliable number without risking being wrong.
Which morphine do you mean (price depends on the exact product)?
To quote the right price, tell me:
- Form: injection, immediate-release tablet, sustained-release tablet/capsule, oral solution, or others
- Strength: for example “10 mg/ml injection” or “MS Contin 30 mg” (or any exact wording on the strip/vial)
- Pack size: number of tablets or number/volume of ampoules/vials
- If you want retail price or government/medical supply price
If you share a photo or the exact label text (brand + strength + pack size), I can narrow it down.
Are you asking about morphine salt (MS) or a specific brand?
In India, “morphine” is often sold as morphine sulfate/morphine hydrochloride, and brands can carry very different markups. Prices also differ for:
- “Morphine sulfate injection” for hospitals
- “Morphine sulfate tablets” (including sustained-release products used for cancer/palliative care)
How much does the price usually differ between generic and branded?
In general, generics tend to cost less than branded morphine products, but the gap depends on availability and procurement channels. Without knowing the exact product, any estimate would be unreliable.
Looking for government/palliative-care access options?
If your goal is affordability for cancer pain or palliative care, pricing can be lower through institutional procurement and hospital pharmacies than typical private retail. Tell me your use case (home vs hospital; palliative care vs acute pain) and your state, and I’ll guide you on what pricing channels are commonly used.
Quick next step
Reply with the exact morphine product you mean (example: “morphine injection 10 mg/ml, 1 ml ampoule, pack of 10” or “morphine sustained-release tablet 30 mg, 10 tablets”), and your state if you want an India price. Then I can give a specific price range for that item.
