Suggest Treatment For COPD While On Morphine, Simvastatin And Benylin

My partner suffers with COPD, he has bouts of coughing during the night but never during the day, I would like to give him benylin but I m worried it may interact with his other medication - 45mg Morphine, dexamethazone, zoladex injection & another oral hormone tablet (for prostate cancer) lansaprazol, simvastatin, amlodopine.

The suggested treatment for COPD must be tailored by the pneumologist. Benylin can interact with Morphine causing more respiratory depression, but I do not think it would be that severe. Then, my recommendation is to consult to the pneumologist for his respiratory problems. I hope this answer helps you.
