When you check the chemical names of what is in your painkiller against the above list, you may not find one or more of the ingredients. A likely reason is that the missing ingredient is a sedative. Ask if you are not sure. If you have been prescribed a painkilling mixture that includes a sedative, I suggest you ask for a change. The sedative will just make you more sleepy and used without doing anything for your pain. If you want to have a sedative to help you relax it is better to take it separately. You will then be able to adjust your dose of painkiller according to your pain and your dose of sedative according to your degree of relaxation.

My advice is similar if you are prescribed a painkilling mixture of morphine and alcohol. If you are taking morphine in liquid form, ask whether it contains alcohol. If you want alcohol, you will probably prefer to take it separately in a form that you enjoy and in the amount that suits you, rather than mixed with your painkiller.
