A potentially dangerous, toxic compound and a relative of morphine, used as a strong purgative or emetic. Also used via SQ injection to palliatively treat the effects of Parkinson's Disease and also erectile dysfunction. I strongly recommend that, if you take this compound you do so under a doctor's care.
