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.

In common usage, people may not mention the "sulfate" part of the name.

Question 10

i weigh about 135 lbs. what would happen if i take morphine sulfate oral concentrate 20mg/1ml?

Accepted Answer

Morphine: It depends on a lot of things. Are you taking any other drugs? Its a bad idea to mix narcotics with say xanax (alprazolam) or valium or alcohol. How many ml are you prescribed to take?  Even 2 mls could make you dizzy. You shouldn't drive or do other possibly dangerous things (like cook a pot of spagheti in boiling water.) Hopefully, your prescribing doc gave you instructions.
