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.

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.

How long does opiates stay in a unborn baby's system?

Im not sure EXACTLY how long but its not more than 24/48 hours. The placenta helps filter alot so not much even gets to the baby I was told by my perinatologist.

I had to take percocet in my 9th month of pregnancy because I have Crohns disease and was in severe pain. The docs said it was safer for me to be out of pain and to not worry about the effects of 1 or 2 percs a day on the baby because she was 2 weeks from birth. I do hope your not taking Percs recreationally while pregs tho :( They'll give you a nice script for em as soon as you deliver! So just wait!
