Embeda contains a combination of morphine and naltrexone. Morphine is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic. Naltrexone blocks certain effects of opioid medication, including feelings of well-being that can lead to opioid abuse.

Embeda is used to treat moderate to severe pain when around-the-clock pain relief is needed for a long time period. Naltrexone is included in this medication to prevent the misuse of the narcotic ingredient.

Embeda is an extended-release opioid pain medicine that is not for use on an as-needed basis for pain.
