Morphine causing vomiting, what can i do to prevent this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decrease morphine: If morphine is causing vomiting, try weaning off morphine, morphine delays stomach and intestinal motility and does contribute to vomiting. There are other choices for medications that wouldnt affect stomach emptying as much.
