This pill has been labeled as two different drugs. I'm uncertain what it actually is. I was told that it was manufactured by Cristalia Labs in Brazil and that it is 30mg morphine sulfate. However, on other message boards people are claiming that it is 10 mg methadone. Unfortunately, there is no information to be found from Cristalia labs.
Can anyone clarify exactly what this pill is? See the picture in the "Foreign" section labeled as "Morphine Sulfate 30 mg (Cristalia Labs-Brazil)???".
Please help........
Thanks,
Stoddard

Cristalia does make...
Cristalia does make methadone pills. They also make morphine pills in dosages of 30mg and 60mg....and more. Check out this website as proof:
http://www.consultaremedios.com.br/fabricantes.php?nfab=cristalia&uf=SP
Scroll down a little bit......the left column indicates the medication name and the 3rd column indicates the manufacturer. If you scroll down to "dimorf" and look over at the 4th column, which displays the active ingredient, you'll see that the active ingredient is morfina (morphine).....also, you'll notice that they have several dosages of tablets including 30mg and 60 mg and several other dimorf medications. If you scroll down a little more you'll notice that they also make methadone in 5mg and 10mg dosages.
My picture should be posted on page 14 of the Foreign Drug Images section. There are 2 pills showing the front and back next to a penny. The picture is identified as Morphine Sulfate 30 mg (Cristalia Labs-Brazil)???. However, I'm not certain on that and that's what I'm trying to figure out. Anbody got anything on this one?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I take morphine sulfate for intractable migraine headaches and it works very well for me. However, I would be terrified at the thought of taking methadone for my headaches. Methadone, in my opinion, is a terrible drug that is horribly addictive.

no, i didn't order from that link that i mentioned. i don't know if they prescribe medicines or not, it's just a link i found after searching relentlessly to find out definitively what this pills is. a friend of mine gave me a few of the pills to try for my headaches and said he could get more if they worked. he's kind of a shady character....so i decided to do some research on the internet first to find out exactly what the pills were.
i don't really want to call the company in brazil and try to find out what this is. something tells me that wouldn't work so well anyway.....calling a large pharmaceutical company in a foreign country......trying to ask them to identify one of their products from thousands......with the language barrier, etc. i just don't think that'll be worth the time.
Peace
trey is too ripped; can' play like he used to

No Way to Identify
There is no way to identify your tablet since it has no markings.
You
might get some kind of reasonable guess by someone who happens onto our
website and has methadone and/or morphine tabs from the same company
and knows the colors of the drugs. But I wouldn't trust
that! Many foreign manufacturers make 'look alike' drugs, so
there could be other meds made by Cristalia that are round, green and
scored. There is no way to identify your pill for certain unless
you have it tested by a lab.
I'm not a pharmacist or a medical
doctor. This message is not medical advice nor is it an offer to
provide medical advice. All drug identifications should be validated by
a licensed MD or pharmacist.

green pill
Have it,supposed to be Msir30, has very weak effects.Could be methadone,its a possible both drugs have similar effects thou different.
This makes you tired like methadone,my exp. of course,no scratching/pins & needle effect so I have no definitive answer-most likely weak foreign morphine

Just got a few of thses...
I'm pretty sure they are 30mg Morphine Sulfate. I got the same kind as you with no marking and the same color. I could send you a pic if you'd like. If I knew how to post a pic here, I'd show you mine as they are quiet clear and taken with a macro lense. So you can see all the details.
I do believe these are Morphine Sulfate. Wish they were stronger. Unfortionalty, not as good as Morphine HCL, but beggers cant be choosers. I was assured by someone that they are what we say they are. They aren't as good as my reg. meds 30mg Oxycodine (AMIDE Parma), but they'll do. I could send back what I have if Im not happy with them for refund.
These are not that strong.

Cristalia does not make methadone pills..but they do make a product called Dimorf which is 10 mg Morphine Sulfate. No other info to be had at this time. As to whether or not that pill is the same as your is unknown, as I didn't find a picture.
