Morphine

Morphine is the principal constituent of opium and ranges in concentration
from 4 to 21 percent. Commercial opium is standardized to contain 10-percent
morphine. In the United States, a small percentage of the morphine obtained
from opium is used directly (about 20 tons); the remaining is converted to
codeine and other derivatives (about 110 tons). Morphine is one of the most
effective drugs known for the relief of severe pain and remains the standard
against which new analgesics are measured. Like most narcotics, the use of
morphine has increased significantly in recent years. Since 1998, there has
been about a two-fold increase in the use of morphine products in the United
States.





Morphine is marketed under generic and brand name products including
MS-Contin®, Oramorph SR®, MSIR®, Roxanol®, Kadian®, and RMS®.
Morphine is used parenterally (by injection) for preoperative sedation, as a
supplement to anesthesia, and for analgesia. It is the drug of choice for
relieving the pain of myocardial infarction and for its cardiovascular effects in
the treatment of acute pulmonary edema. Traditionally, morphine was almost
exclusively used by injection. Today, morphine is marketed in a variety of
forms, including oral solutions, immediate and sustained-release tablets and
capsules, suppositories, and injectable preparations. In addition, the
availability of high-concentration morphine preparations (i.e., 20-mg/ml oral
solutions, 25-mg/ml injectable solutions, and 200-mg sustained-release
tablets) partially reflects the use of this substance for chronic pain
management in opiate-tolerant patients.
