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.

How is diamorphine stronger than morphine sulphate?
Diamorphine is not actually stronger than morphine per se, but it does act a lot quicker than morphine. Diamorphine is converted into morphine in the body and although diamorphine and morphine are almost identical, doses of them are not therapeutically equivalent. For example, 30mg of diamorphine is the same as 45mg of morphine. So maybe diamorphine can be thought of as being stronger than morphine, as it takes 1/3 less to give the same effect. Also the quicker onset of diamorphine can give the impression of it being stronger.
Is morphine analgesic stronger than morphine sulphate?
Morphine and morphine sulfate are essentially the same drug, as morphine sulfate is simply a specific formulation of morphine, where the morphine is combined with sulfate to enhance its solubility and absorption. Therefore, morphine itself is not stronger than morphine sulfate; they have the same analgesic potency. The strength and effectiveness depend more on the dosage and the specific formulation rather than the chemical name.
