You can apply this answer to every other question you've asked about the definition of a blank allergy

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: duramorph (morphine) allergy?

Accepted Answer

Duramorph allergy: Duramorph (morphine)  is an opiate analgesic. Allergic reactions can include difficulty breathing, hives and swelling of face, lips, throat, mouth or tongue.

Question 3

what is the definition or description of: astramorph (morphine) allergy?

Accepted Answer

Not allergy: Since opiates such as morphine directly releases histamine from the body cells, a good % of the people may end up with itching and even hives from it. But this is a chemical and not a truly allergic reaction and is usually dose-dependent.  Opiates can cause sedation, stomach upset, and constipation but these are not from being allergic. Thus most if not all reactions are not allergic in nature.

Question 4

can an overdose of morphine sulfate ir cause permanent heart trouble?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: Morphine, in and of itself, is not toxic to the heart. In the past, it was a frequent part of anesthesia for heart surgery and is still standard treatment for myocardial infarction (heart attack). However, if the drug overdose led to reduced breathing and low oxygen levels for a prolonged period, the low oxygen levels may have caused injury to the heart.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Speak with Doctor: This is not a place for dispensing information on what opiate pain medication is appropriate for you without actually knowing more about your medical history.  As an aside, pain medication are rarely ever helpful in a long term situation with this pain.

Question 8

what's the difference between morphine and morphine sulfate?

Accepted Answer

Usually the same: Morphine does not dissolve well in water so it would be difficult to administer it as intravenous or hypodermic injection. When morphine is manufactured for clinical purposes, it goes through a chemical process to produce a water-soluble form, called a "salt". Morphine sulfate is one such salt form of morphine. In common usage, people may not mention the "sulfate" part of the name.
