Morphine - Side Effects
Morphine is a very potent opioid analgesic, that is mainly used in the treatment of severe acute and chronic pain. It binds to opioid receptors in the pain pathway and alters the response to pain.
Morphine can be administered into the body via several routes. These include oral route. Intravenous. Subcutaneous. Rectal. Intrathecal; and epidural.
Major indications of morphine include the following. To relieve pain in acute myocardial infarctions. To alleviate post operative pain. As an analgesic during surgery. To relieve cancer pain. To relieve pain in trauma. And any other acute or chronic painful condition.
Major adverse effects of morphine include the following. Respiratory depression, which slows down the respiratory rate. Sedation, which increases the risk of aspiration, especially in the post operative period. Suppression of the cough reflex, which increases the risk of aspiration. Nausea and vomiting. Constipation. Tolerance and dependence, which may lead to addiction. And miosis.
