What is morphine ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narcotic drug: Morphine is a narcotic pharmaceutical, a natural substance derived from the opium poppy. It can be very effective for severe pain, both acute and chronic, and is often given to ease pain after surgery. However, like all narcotics it can have many side effects and is very habituating with danger of addiction and dependence. See https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682133.html
