Ring the A&E and ask them
That can't be answer on here as you haven's said what the oramorph dose is amount and frequency. as welshyorkie says, phone a and e and don't take anything except the oramorph dose till you have done so.

for 24 hours im to take 5ml every 6 oz, a&e saidthey cannot answer as only receptionist but refuse to speak to anyone to ask (complaint pending me thinks)
Try ringing NHS Direct then - see if they can deal with your question

good idea, im too tired to think of that one, cheers :0)
Ring your local chemists this morning and ask to speak to the pharmacist, they will give you a professional opinion.
Does the packaging not indicate anything about this?
boxtops is right, call your local chemist ( or any chemist) and ask them, they probably know more than the doctors about dosage etc.
When my daughter hurt her knee a couple of weeks ago, A&E encouraged me to give her both, staggering them so that she wasn't it too much pain for long. I got the usual warning about paracetemol though.
Sorry didn't read the post properly regarding oramorph, apologies.
There is a new product called Nuromol that is specially recommended for dental pain. You can get it from a chemist but you have to ask for it. My son had a back tooth removed and he was told to use it, works wonders no pain at all.
I'm quite shocked at the hospital giving out oramorph for dental pain!
Last time I had a huge dental abscess I accidentally overdosed on paracetamol and was admitted for a few days to have the intravenous antidote, the only pain relief I was offered was ibuprofen. I had a hugely swollen face and was in agony and they wouldn't consider anything stronger for me.
probbaly because of your breathing probs daffy - morphine depresses the respiratory drive. It's probably too late now for tweeny, but YES you most definately can take all 2 together
