Clinical Information
Chemical Structure
No Image foundClinical Pharmacology
Morphine produces its major effects on the central nervous system (CNS) and on the bowel.
Non-Clinical Toxicology
Hypersensitivity to morphine. Because of its stimulating effect on the spinal cord, morphine should not be used in convulsive states, such as those occurring in status epilepticus, tetanus, and strychnine poisoning.This preparation should not be used in diarrhea caused by poisoning until the toxic material is eliminated from the gastrointestinal tract.
Head Injury and Increased Intracranial Pressure
Acute Abdominal Conditions
Special-Risk Patients
Morphine should be used with extreme caution in patients with disorders characterized by hypoxia, since even usual therapeutic doses of narcotics may decrease respiratory drive to the point of apnea while simultaneously increasing airway resistance.
Hypotensive Effect
Supraventricular Tachycardias
Convulsions
The most frequent adverse reactions include lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea, and vomiting. These effects seem to be more prominent in ambulatory than in nonambulatory patients, and some of these adverse reactions may be alleviated if the patient lies down.
Other adverse reactions include euphoria, dysphoria, constipation, and pruritus.
