Drug Interactions
Taking this medication with other drugs that depress the central nervous system (like sedatives, sleeping pills, anesthesia, some antipsychotics, and tranquilizers) can increase their sedative effects. It may also make muscle relaxants stronger. If taken with certain opioid painkillers that act as both agonists and antagonists (like pentazocine, nalbuphine, or buprenorphine), it could reduce pain relief. Taking it with cimetidine can raise drug levels in the blood. This medication may make diuretics less effective by causing the body to retain water. It can also slow down the absorption of mexiletine. It may reduce the effects of GI drugs like cisapride, domperidone, and metoclopramide. When used with drugs that increase dopamine, it could cause very high fever and damage to the nervous system.
**Serious Warning:** Taking this medication with MAO inhibitors can greatly increase its effects, leading to dangerous or even life-threatening problems such as anxiety, confusion, stopped breathing, or coma.
Contraindications
Breathing problems such as slow or shallow breathing, severe asthma, or blocked airways; bowel blockage (paralytic ileus); serious liver disease; patients in a coma; people with high pressure in the skull; or those who are very drunk. Also, lung swelling caused by inhaling a chemical that irritates the lungs.
Mode of actions
Morphine is a type of drug made from phenanthrene that mainly affects the brain, nerves, and smooth muscles. It works by attaching to specific opiate receptors in the brain and changes the way we feel and respond to pain. The feelings of pain relief, happiness, and the risk of addiction are linked to its effects on the mu-1 receptors. Its effects on the mu-2 receptors cause slowed breathing and reduced movement in the intestines. Morphine also produces pain relief in the spine by activating the K (kappa) receptor.
