Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Morphine is a narcotic drug. After injection, it usually affects intestinal motility, leading to constipation, and often causes gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and vomiting. In addition, because morphine has a certain degree of inhibitory effect on the respiratory system, it can easily lead to difficulty in breathing after injection. If the dose is too high or if morphine is used frequently, the body may easily develop drug tolerance.
