How long does it take for morphine injections given for chest pain to get out of the system?

It depends on the dosage given and the patient's morphine tolerance level (previous exposure/use of morphine or morphine derivatives). Generally however, most are only effective for about 4-6 hours. The rate of dissipation from the body is totally dependent on the patient as well, i.e., the patient's kidney function. Usually though within 48-72 hours most or all of it is gone. Again though, it depends on the dose and the patient - everyone is different, and you cannot rely on averages - they're simply guidelines.

20 mg of Nubain as an analgesic effect equivalent to 10 mg of Morphine but it acts 5 times faster. Nubain is often given as an injection for severe pain. It can have startling side effects, just like any other drug, but you should definitely report anything out of the ordinary. For instance, when I was given injections of Nubain on two separate occassions, I experienced severe hallucinations.
