Effects of Morphine
Disease description:
I have cancer, and I sometimes experience pain. My doctor prescribes morphine for me. I would like to ask my doctor: What are the effects of morphine?
Hello, morphine is an opioid analgesic primarily used for managing moderate to severe pain. It can be employed for cancer-related pain relief as well as postoperative pain management. However, morphine exerts respiratory depressant effects and may cause spasm of the sphincter of Oddi; therefore, it is not recommended for patients with respiratory failure or biliary tract disorders. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant life!
