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.
