quick and precise
Diamorphine is not actually stronger than morphine per se, but it does act a lot quicker than morphine. Diamorphine is converted into morphine in the body and although diamorphine and morphine are almost identical, doses of them are not therapeutically equivalent. For example, 30mg of diamorphine is the same as 45mg of morphine. So maybe diamorphine can be thought of as being stronger than morphine, as it takes 1/3 less to give the same effect. Also the quicker onset of diamorphine can give the impression of it being stronger.
The analgesic effect of Tylenol is much weaker than that of morphine.
Depends on morphine form. Solution stronger
Fentanyl is the strongest opiate, and is approximately 100x stronger than morphine.
no
Fentanyl - is a synthetic primary opioid receptor agonist. It is approximately 100 times more potent than Morphine, with 100 micrograms of fentanyl approximately equivalent to 10 mg of morphine and 75 mg of Pethidine (meperidine) in analgesic activity.Hydromorphone, a more common synonym for dihydromorphinone and dimorphone, commonly a hydrochloride (trade names Palladone, Palladone SR, Dilaudid and numerous others) is a potent centrally-acting Analgesic Medication of the Opioid class. It is a derivative of Morphine, specifically a Hydrogenated Ketone thereof and therefore a semi-synthetic drug. It is both medically an Opioid analgesic and legally a Narcotic. It is 8 times more potent than Morphine.
No, morphine has a higher potency then demerol, which is also known as meperidine.
No, morphine is stronger because morphine is the most potent chemical in opium. Codeine, thebaine, and a few other chemicals are also in opium, but they are weaker than morphine and thus weaken the whole compound. However, some people prefer the euphoria that opium provides over that of morphine' morphine euphoria has been described by some as a bit "flat".
Yes, approximately 3-4 times stronger
Yes, Heroin - 5 times to death Morphine - 10 times to death
Yes - as a synthesized opiate, Fentanyl is the strongest opiate available, and is 100x stronger than morphine.
