Morphine is widely known to be abused by lots of people nowadays, but it also has lots of therapeutical uses:

  • analgesics for post-operative, cancer pain and renal colic
  • for acute pulmonary edema
  • it can reduce your anxiety
  • has anti-tussive effect (can be used for severe refractory state)
  • for severe and refractory diarrhea (but loperamide and diphenoxylate are better)
  • as pre-anaesthetic medications
  • for regional anaesthesia (epidural or intrathecal)
  • to induce sleep in insomnia
