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.
0.25ml morphine is a low dose.
none at all their dying.
should you use a syringe or med cup to measure dilantin 150 mg liquid
Morphine sulfate in liquid is mostly water. If left to evaporate, the water will go, leaving morphine sulfate as a residue.
morphine requirement will increase with regular use and safe dose will depend on weight and general health a safe daily dose is nil.
Morphine decrease cathecolamines therefore decreases afterload.
Yes
You probably meant HYDROMORPHONE, which is a drug very similar to morphine, except it takes less of it to get the same effects as morphine.
The average dose of morphine depends upon several factors. Is it IV or oral. Even orally, there are several forms of morphine (immediate or extended release, liquid or tablet, etc...) Generally though: IV: 1 to 2mg every 4-6 hours Orally: tablets 5 to 10mg every 6-8 hours
