Morphine belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.

Heroin is an addictive drug derived from morphine obtained from the

opium poppy. It is a narcotic that affects the brain’s pleasure system

and interferes with the brain’s ability to perceive pain.

What prescription drugs show up as heroin in drug test?

Heroin actually shows up as morphine in a drug test. ALL opiates, except for morphine which is already morphine, have morphine as their first-stage metabolite. You do heroin, it changes to morphine. Do codeine, it changes to morphine.So...any drug that is an opiate shows up as "opiates."

Does opium on a drug test only means heroin sHow is up not oxycodone or roxicet?

Any Opioied drug can show up on a tox screen for that particulare narcotic and it will not difereciate between Heroin opium, oxy, vicodin morphine etc. there all derived from the same thing. Oxy is sythetic derived from Morphine, Morphine from Opium, Heroin from Morphine, Hydrocodone from Coidene, Coidene also from Opium. Opium has somthing in the order of i think 26 ingrediants:Morphine, Codiene, Theibeain, and so on. So in other words if you need a drug screen let them know what meds you have been on so they can expect a pop for "heroin" even popie seen bagles can possibly show as "o" or Heroin.

Difference between morphine and heroin?

Codeine is a 'pro drug'. by this I mean it is converted into another drug (morphine) and it is the morphine that kills the pain. There is a ceiling effect with this. most people can't convert more than 400mg of codeine in one go, any more is just a waste of money and more stress on your body. Codeine is addictive, constipating and does not mix well with tranquilizers, sleep aids, anti anxiety meds, so be very carefull if you are taking codeine with any other meds. drugs.com is a good place to check for drug interactions. I hope this helps.


Are any of the anti depressants narcotics?

Antidepressants are not narcotics. Legally a "narcotic" is either an opioid like heroin or morphine or it is cocaine/crack. Medically the term "narcotic" only refers to opioid analgesics. Most doctors and scientists do not like using the word narcotic because most people do not understand exactly what a narcotic is. An antidepressant is not a narcotic nor is it a drug of abuse. Antidepressants are not controlled substances and drug seeking behaviour has not been scene in people taking antidepressants. It can be argued that amphetamines in particular might be considered narcotics as they are occasionally used in people with severe refractory depression. However technically amphetamines are not narcotics.
