I believe the answer for the drug you are looking for is the morphine pump. My husband passed away just 2 months ago and he had a morphine pump to relieve his pain. He went peacefully and pain free. I miss him dearly. Hope this helps.

Morhine doses not work in the last stages of Cancer, it aggravates the pain rather. the Homeopathic Remedy ARSENSENICUM ALBUM in CM potency works the best in easing the pain of any patient in the last stages of cancer where acure is not possible, It will not bring death but it will ease the pain and however long the patient lives it will be in a lot more ease and without pain. Just one dose is advised. Incidently a Homeopath I know of in Pakistan gave ARSENICUM ALBUM in CM potency to a patient who was dying of liver cancer and was on the last stages and surprisingly it cured the patient of his Liver cancer. To read more about the remedy click the link to read about it in The Materia medica of Homeopathic Medicine, By Dr.William Boericke MD. :- http://homeoint.org/books/boericmm/a/ars.htm
Take care and God Bless you !

What everyone else is saying. Morphine and Ativan are drugs of choice for cancer patients. Titrate for comfort!

In the past it has been called a 'Brompton Cocktail'. It is composed of painkillers (Demerol, Morphine etc. etc.) and relaxants of various kinds. There are all kinds of 'recipes' for a Brompton cocktail....but they all pretty much do the same thing....make the patient as comfortable as possible.

Dilaudid and morphine are common pain meds that can be used on a patient controlled anesthesia (PCA) pump.
