Kadian (morphine) is an opioid medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.

Kadian extended-release capsules are used to treat moderate to severe pain.

Kadian extended-release capsules are used for around-the-clock treatment of pain when other pain treatments, such as non-opioid pain medicines or immediate-release opioid medicines, do not treat your pain well enough or you cannot tolerate them.

Kadian is not for use on an as-needed basis for pain.
