A member asked:

Is death outcome of morphine allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: It is unclear if true IgE morphine allergy exist. Narcotics are non specific irritants of mast cells and can cause these allergy cells to release their mediators and cause allergy symptoms. Having said that any medicine when used has the potential to cause untoward reactions and narcotics in particular are very dangerous medications that need to be carefully prescribed and monitored when used
