You only take morphine if your doctor has prescribed it, and then exactly as prescribed. Morphine is extremely dangerous and WILL kill you if you take it wrong. I've lost several patients to morphine overdose, so don't play around with it.

∙ 12y agoMethadone has been an effective pain medication since it was invented during World War II. We did not have enough Morphine for all the wounded people, so they came up with a synthetic blend that proved to have many uses. Since the '60s it has been used for Heroin Replacement Therapy with less than stellar reviews. It is used to this day and while it is highly addictive with withdrawal symptoms that are much more severe than heroin withdrawal. However if used correctly, it does give a hopelessly addicted heroin addict a chance of a semblance of leading a normal life. A chance to get up and go to work everyday which is something many heroin addicts have never done.
It is also a very effective pain medication that is very rarely used because it is very cheap and Big Pharma make very little on a $.17 dose of pain medication. There are many much more expensive pain meds such as the oxycotin which the price is up in the $100.oos for a prescription.
They come in 10 mg. and 40 mg. pills and they can be broken in half but be careful with this drug, take as directed and only take it as long as needed and be prepared for some discomcort when you stop taking it.

The strength of Morphine depends on the concentration of the drug. If 6 mg Morphine is the prescribed strength, a little over 1/2 a cc of Morphine 10 mg needs to be administered. Morphine is supplied in 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml ampules. CW: For water, a cc is (just about) a mg. For stuff dissolved in water, a cc is about a mg. For Hg, doesn't hold.

How many milligrams are in 1 milliliters of liquid morphine?
A millilitre (mL) is a unit of volume. A milligram (mg) is a unit of mass."20 mL" of morphine would imply that the morphine is suspended in a liquid, and depending on morphine's solubility in this liquid and so forth, there can be a different amount of morphine per mL. Usually a liquid suspension like this will be "X mg per mL" or "X mg/mL" as labelled on an ampoule or something similar.For example, you one may find an ampoule that contains 4 mg/mL of morphine (in which case the answer would be 80 mg) or one that contains 20 mg/mL (in which case the answer would be 400 mg), etc.There is no fixed answer, *but* you should know that a morphine dose is measured in mg and not mL, so if all you know is the amount of mL, it's not safe to measure out a dose.
