What is better IV morphine or IV Dilaudid?

The word "better" is very vague and patients can react very differently to medications. However, there are a number of advantages to selecting Dilaudid (AKA Hydromorphne) over Morphine. Both drugs have similar effects as hydrocodone and Oxyconde. Dilaudid is estimated to be 3-4 times stronger than Morphine therefore the amount of drug prescribed is usually significantly less. Dilaudid has a lower risk of dependency and typically causes less nausea than Morphine.


Are there non food fiber sources for dogs on morphine?

If you mean, are there foods I can feed my dog to increase the amount of fiber he is consuming while on morphine, you can try canned pumpkin, beets or wheat bran. To make sure the fiber doesn't adsorb the morphine (thus reducing the amount of morphine your dog is receiving), you should check with your veterinarian - a phone call should work.

Does morphine hasten death?

Morphine toxicity may result from overdosage but because of the great inter-individual variation in sensitivity to opioids it is difficult to determine an exact dose of any opioid that is toxic or lethal. The presence of pain or tolerance tends to diminish the toxic effects of morphine. Published data suggest that in a morphine naive, pain-free individual, the lethal dose would be in excess of 120mg. Patients on chronic oral morphine therapy have been known to take in excess of 3000mg/day with no apparent toxicity.
