That might be asked:

If I understand correctly, a patient on a longish course of opiod medication (assume patient is suffering chronic pain). Traditionally, physicians might start administering morphine, (Let's say a week but whatever length of time)then switch medication to oxycodone. The reason for this is to try and thwart or at least lower the risk of the patient developing addiction. I understand doctors noticed the overlap period seemed when patients were responding best an actually led to the discovery of combining the two drugs.
So the question is: What would be the best method to avoid addiction if the patient is being given MoxDuo; i.e. the combination?
