Why meperidine is preferred to be used in obstetric procedures rather than using morphine?
RedGuitar168
This is because meperidine is less addictive, has less effect on newly born babies and its passage through the placenta is less than morphine.

Will Avinza, a time released Morphine show up on a urine drug screen as demerol Thanks?
Morphine is an Opiate. Opiates and Opioids metabolize differently depending on the drug and pathways. Many brand name drugs are detected as a metabolite in a drug test once analyzed. Demerol is detected and the metabolite/parent drug is meperidine. Opiates can break down into multiple metabolites, for instance heroin can break down into codeine, morphine, morphine glucuronide, and 6 monoacetyl morphine...drug testing is more complex than most people think it is.
