It depends on the dosage given and the patient's morphine tolerance level (previous exposure/use of morphine or morphine derivatives). Generally however, most are only effective for about 4-6 hours. The rate of dissipation from the body is totally dependent on the patient as well, i.e., the patient's kidney function. Usually though within 48-72 hours most or all of it is gone. Again though, it depends on the dose and the patient - everyone is different, and you cannot rely on averages - they're simply guidelines.
