Are Demerol and morphine the same?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mepergan Forte contains the opioid pain reliever Meperidine, also known as Demerol and the antinausea medication Promethazine also known as Phenergan. Promethazine is from the phenothiazine class of medications. It is often administered in combination with an opioid, like Meperidine, to minimize the nausea that is caused by pain medication. The product Mepergan Forte is taken in oral form and contains both Meperidine for pain, and Promethazine for nausea.

Asked by Wiki User

Very possibly. I would advice against taking any prescription medicine to this extent. It would also put lots of stress on the kidneys.

Can you mix Prozac and morphine sulfate?

Asked by Wiki User

Most definitely not. I would never try mixing medications without contacting your doctor or pharmacist first.

Some drugs are extremely fatal if mixed. Don't do it- Do you really want to be known as the person that died of an erection?

Which part of the poppy plant is opium obtained?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Opium is not grown, rather the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum) The prefix to somniferum is somni which means sleepy.

After the opium poppy is planted it grows into a long stalk. Eventually flowers form at the top of the stalk and open with a little ball in the center with stamens (male parts containing pollen attached). This ball is the poppy pod, the flowers will fall off an all that will be left is a little pod on the end of the stalk.

This pod will grow bigger and bigger until it is ready for harvesting. Most people leave the pod on the plant and score the surface to allow opium latex to drain out the sides where it is then collected and processed into opium or heroin. The latex contains two basic active opioids, Morphine and Codeine. Most of the poppy crop uses some chemical process to turn the opium latex into heroin where it is sold in other countries like the united states.

I have no idea at the best way to do this or the actual process as I live in the United States and have never harvested poppies, or used heroin or opium, but this is generally how the plant grows.

It is quite a beautiful plant, especially right before the petals fall off and it is just quite a beautiful red poppy plant.

Is 60mg morphine a lot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For an opiate-naive patient, 60mg would be a lot. The weight of the patient should also be taken into account.

So, say there is a patient who weighs 180lbs (~90kg) with a broken leg, I would start them off on 10--15mg of morphine via an intramuscular injection.

After 15--20 minutes, if the patient was still in excessive pain, I might give another 10mg. I'd repeat this, if necessary, up to maybe 50mg, or possibly 60mg.

One would NOT start out giving 60mg. It may not kill your patient outright, but it could cause excessive sedation and respiratory depression.

Tramadol and Tylenol (apap) are both non-narcotic pain relievers. They are not related to codeine. You should be fine.
