The elimination half-life is the indicator of duration of action. The number for morphine is about 2 hours. The number for Demerol is 3 to 6 hours. Demerol has a longer duration of action than morphine.
No, morphine has a higher potency then demerol, which is also known as meperidine.
Morphine and Demerol (meperidine) are both opioid analgesics, but their potency differs. Generally, morphine is considered stronger on a milligram-to-milligram basis. Specifically, 4 mg of morphine is approximately equivalent to 50-75 mg of Demerol, making morphine significantly more potent. Therefore, 4 mg of morphine is indeed stronger than 50 mg of Demerol.
Both demerol and percocet are opioids, meaning they have opium alkaloids as their base. As far as potency goes, the oxycodone in Percocet is stronger than the meperidine in Demerol. Taken orally, Demerol is only about one-third as strong as when given IV or in a muscle. Taken orally, oxycodone is about 50% stronger than morphine, which is many times stronger than meperidine.
Demerol is a terrible drug for pain management as is rarely used anymore. Demerol has more toxic metabolites that are released as the body breaks it down, which increases the intensity and duration of some very serious side effects. In addition, Demerol has what is called a "ceiling" to it's dosage, meaning you can give more and more and more Demerol, but at some time, you will hit a ceiling where it no longer increases in effectiveness of pain relief. Giving higher doses simply means more severe side effects. Morphine does not have a ceiling and is considered a "cleaner" drugs in reference it's metabolites. In consideration of addictive effects, anyone who takes opiods for the purpose of relieving pain will become physically dependent on it, but not psychologically addicted. Addiction is a term used for those who take opiods for recreational means.
The duration of Day Is Longer Than Night is 2.3 hours.
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.
Meperidine is generic for Demerol which in fact is very similar to Morphine so what do you think?.................Well if you said Meperidine you are correct. Yes they are all opiates. But Morphine is the father try smoking opium.
do not take dilaudid for morphine withdrawals.this is ascenine..U will simply start your detox over being how dilaudid is 4 to 5 times stronger than morphine accroding to mgs. It will stop your withdrawals and when that pill has worn off you will be in worse shape than you started. Dilaudid is just as or more addictive than morphine.Hope this helps.hang in there I'm on day 4 of morphine withdrawals myself...just hang tight i know it sux but you can do it.. ---- Also a major factor that makes Dilaudid unsuitable for treating morphine withdrawal is, like morphine, it has a short half-life and relatively short duration of action. The longer acting opioids (such as methadone) are used for tapering and maintenance because they require less frequent dosing and stay in the body longer, thus creating less harsh withdrawal symptoms.
yes.
** Life is a temporary phenomenon- A duration between birth and death. Death is permanent. And we all know that what is permanent is longer than what is but temporary.... So life is not longer than death...
From experience if you take the same amount of oxycodone(ex. percocet roxicodone) and demerol, Demerol is stronger.
One way to trick a motion sensor to stay on longer than its programmed duration is to continuously move within its detection range, which can reset the timer and keep the sensor activated.
