DOLORAL SIROP 5 MG — DIN 00614505
MORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE : 5 MG · LABORATOIRE ATLAS INC · SYRUP · wholesale supply in Canada
Health Canada status: MARKETED
What is DOLORAL SIROP?
DOLORAL SIROP 5 MG contains MORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE : 5 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 00614505, held by LABORATOIRE ATLAS INC, supplied as SYRUP for ORAL administration. Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 12-Mar-2025. Nexara Health is a licensed Canadian wholesale distributor (DEL 3-002896-A) and can source this product for hospitals, pharmacies and clinics. Availability and lead time are confirmed per order.
What is DOLORAL SIROP used for?
DOLORAL SIROP (morphine hydrochloride syrup) is indicated in adult patients for the symptomatic relief of severe chronic pain. DOLORAL SIROP is not indicated as an as-needed (prn) analgesic.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Morphine cost around the world?
Morphine is listed on 5 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so those figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Australia publishes a ex-manufacturer; Morocco publishes a PPV (public price); South Africa publishes a single exit price. Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.
| Market | Price basis published there | Brands | Packs listed | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 13 | 80 | AUD███.██ |
| United Kingdom | hospital | 11 | 11 | GBP███.██ |
| Morocco | PPV (public price) | 4 | 8 | MAD███.██ |
| South Africa | single exit price | 8 | 8 | ZAR███.██ |
| United States | acquisition | 2 | 2 | USD███.██ |
109 pack listings across 38 brand entries and 5 price bases, refreshed 08 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Morphine pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.
Is there a generic Morphine in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
23 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Morphine, across 172 DINs, of which 56 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.

Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 5 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | SYRUP |
| Route | ORAL |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | 225 mL or 500 mL graduated bottles |
| Storage | null |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.

Health Canada record and identifiers
The regulatory facts straight from the Drug Product Database, plus every identifier form Nexara accepts on a purchase order. A DIN written without its leading zeros is the commonest reason an order line fails to match.

How is it administered?
Adults: 10-30 mg q4h. Titrate to lowest effective dose. Reduce dose by 25-50% when switching from other opioids. Taper gradually when discontinuing. May be diluted in fruit juice.
Included because it drives pack selection and wastage. Consult the monograph.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to morphine; GI obstruction; suspected surgical abdomen; mild pain; asthma/COPD; acute respiratory depression; acute alcoholism; severe CNS depression; head injury; MAOI use.
Warnings and precautions
Risks of addiction, abuse, misuse, and fatal overdose. Life-threatening respiratory depression. Avoid alcohol and benzodiazepines. Risk of hypotension and adrenal insufficiency.
Is Morphine in shortage in Canada?
A Canadian shortage report is on file for a product containing this molecule: Resolved — reported by JAMP PHARMA CORPORATION, last seen 09 Sep 2026. A shortage on one presentation does not always affect every DIN of the molecule — the alternatives below list what else is marketed in Canada. Nexara can confirm current availability and identify substitutions or import options where permitted.
What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.

What else is DOLORAL SIROP called?
The same molecule, Morphine, is registered under other names elsewhere. Buyers and prescribers searching from outside Canada — or working from a foreign prescription or tender document — often know it by one of these:
| Name | Script | Registered in |
|---|---|---|
| MS Contin | Latin | Australia |
| Morphine Juno | Latin | Australia |
| Kapanol | Latin | Australia |
| MS Mono | Latin | Australia |
| Anamorph | Latin | Australia |
| Sevredol | Latin | Australia, Morocco |
| Morphine Phebra | Latin | Australia |
| MOSCONTIN | Latin | Morocco |
| MORPHINE | Latin | Morocco |
| OPIUM CAMPHORATED TINCT | Latin | South Africa |
Names are taken from national medicine registers and published price lists. A product registered abroad is not authorized for sale in Canada unless it holds its own DIN; import is possible only through the routes Health Canada permits.
How can I get it?
Nexara Health supplies this product to licensed Canadian buyers — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, licensed distributors, and clinical trial sponsors or their CROs. We confirm stock, pack size, expiry and pricing at the time of quotation. If the product is on backorder or in shortage, we identify equivalent alternatives and import options where permitted.
Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
