Can morphine cause stomache ulcers?

you mean gastric/duodenal ulcers? They are usually caused by a bacteria (H.Pylori) however they can also be caused by taking excessive amounts of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol) which often accompanies opiate pain killer drugs like morphine sulfate. I was just reading an article, published in '07 Supportive Oncology,which was describing use of Morphine Sulfate topical gel as an effective pain control method for ulcers on the epidermis. I wonder if it would be good for gastric ulcers too.

last guy: No THC is THC, the chemical found in marijuana. An opiate is a form of herion such as morphine or Oxycontin.

pip313: Technically it is a opioid because it has activity at opiate receptors, demerol is an "opioid" because it is fully synthetic with no structural simularity to anything the poppy plant produces.

Is Adderall an opiate?

Any narcotic purchased at the pharmacy a photo I.D. is required, and when i pick up adderall i have to furbish a photo I.D., so i think yes adderall is a narcotic.

Adderall is a stimulant medication used to treat ADD/ADHD and is not a narcotic. It is a controlled substance, however, which is why you must show a photo ID when you pick it up at the pharmacy.

New comment from nursing student-- technically and literally narcotic means "to make one sleepy", so by definition adderall is NOT A narcotic, as it contains Amphetamines, which are a stimulant. However, adderall is listed by the FDA as a controlled substance under legislature. So when you go to the pharmacist he/she require identification. DO NOT take adderall expecting it to, it any way, simulate the effects of real narcotics.

If you are talking about Adderall, it is a controlled substance with a high abuse potential.

Comment from a Pharm.D-- To add to the previous comment- I am a Pharmacist, and at the pharmacy i work in we use a system to identify our presciptions that involves 6 numbers preceeded by either RX, N, or C (for example. C 999-999). Vicodin or Percocet, for example, would be given as N 999-999, denoting its status of a narcotic drug; Xanax, a contolled substance, would be given as C 999-999; Amoxil would be given as Rx 999-999. Most pharmacies use a silmilar system, but i have found that some pharmacies issue Adderall as N 999-999, and others issue it as C 999-999. But do not be confused by this, Adderall is, as stated before, a CONTROLLED substance, but not a narcotic by definition. Adderall consists of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine salts. Adderall is a Schedule II drug (which means it is highly addictive and widely abused, but has legitimate medical use in the US), and identification is required on ALL controlled subtances, narcotic or not. Drugs that are not classified as controlled substances (such as amoxicillin, synthroid, or ranitidine) usually do not require valid photo identification to be presented, but even though it isn't required by law, some pharmacies may still ask for ID due to company policy.

How many benzo and opiates do i need to take to be in my system for a drug test?

Let me get this straight: You WANT opiates and benzos to show up in your urine.......is that right?

If it is, and I wonder if it is, and if it is, why it is, but to get to the point, the easiest way to flunk a drug test is to take the drug. Valium stays in your system for a month, but most opiates are gone in a matter of hours or days, so if you're really determined, take a vicodin or whatever you can get the day of or the day before the test.

Piece of cake. Now do you mind if I ask you why you want a urine test with those results?

forever hair isn't like urine .

What is the route of administration antidote for morphine?

Naloxone is usually given by intravenous bolus injection, repeated every 2-3 minutes until a resposne occurs. It can also be given by intravenous infusion or if the IV route in unavailable, it can be given sub-cut though the response time is slower.

A side note on this:

Naloxone has a shorter half life than morphine, therefore the naloxone may be metabolised and removed from the body before the morphine. If the morphone plasma concentraion has not reduced to safe levels, the person could show the symptoms of overdose again.

How long for one single does of 8mg suboxone to stop the opiate blocking?

I am about to answer this from personal experience at this very moment, to give you an idea. At 0500 I took (these #'s are appx to my best guess) 1.2 mg and at 0700 I took .5 mg(also I last took "used" at 1630 the prior day. At 1430 (+9.5 and +7.5hrs) I was able to feel the effects of my drug of choice, but would estimate only 65-75%. But this was a one-time use for me and I am an addict and I was feeling sick - basically all day - but getting worse until I got my fix. But no where near full blown W/D's, like if I had not taken the Sub. I will say I metabolize fast, that has a huge effect on the answer to this question. And I used just on dose once that day.

I will say if you feel sick then opiates will work, maybe not 100% of effects, but you won't be sick anymore. And I think for anyone, after 24 hours 1.5 mg will have very limited blockade effect.
