Morphine can and does have an effect on breathing. The effects vary from each individual. A lot depends on a persons weight and the mg's taken and tolerance. What one can take safely could completely stop the respiration of another person.
Morphine is a known respiratory depressant.
depress respiratory function
We don't give morphine for patients suffering from:head injury : because it can depress the respiratory centre and increase intracranial pressurebronchial asthma : because histamine release will cause bronchiol-constrictionpregnancy : might lead to fetal respiratory depression and withdrawal syndromes in newly bornimpaired renal or hepatic functionsmyxedema : because it can decrease basal metabolic rateold people and infants : can cause respiratory depressionshocked patients : can cause severe hypertensionacute undiagnosed abdominal pain
Very much so if abused. Start with a Very small dose especially if you are not opiate tolerate. And opium is very addictive.
Because morphinr produces drowsiness & respiratory depression
The respiratory system is the system that handles breathing.
The Respiratory System
The trachea is the airway in the respiratory system.
A milligram of hydromorphine (brand name dilaudid) is approximately 5-7 times stronger than a milligram of morphine. Thus 1 mg of hydromorphone is more effective at treating pain and more likely to have side effects, such as respiratory depression than the same dose of morphine. People should be started on lower doses of hydromophone than morphine for initial pain management. However, once the relative strengths are taken into account, hydromorphone is about as likely to cause respiratory depression as morphine.
The only way to "clean" your system of morphine is to not take it.
no, they do not have a respiratory system
