@ Doc James: I would recommend you find a good chemist to look at the chemistry section of the Morphine article. I moved the chemical synthesis out, because that description is okay (better, were it based on reviews, but at least it is sourced). But the real issue is that the chemistry section—which reads as naive—is, moreover, completely unsourced. (I removed the only two prior citations, one to a high school web page, and the other to a college class handout, as inapproproate for such an important substance with such a rich literature.) Were I a logging editor, I would have taken the whole thing out, as suspected plagiarism, and on the basis of its misstatements (so rampant it is with vagaries and inaccuracies). Instead, I "hid" 2-3 glaring examples (not even the most glaring), and indicated the problem with a section tag.

Wow. This is a really bad article. Administration - check it out: IV isn't one of the routes!!! WHAT?? Check it out - it is claimed that it last 3-7 hrs but I had no problem finding a source that said it was effective for 24 hrs (epidurally). I don't think it's true that there is a meaningful number range for its effects. First because of the wide variety of routes of administration, and secondly because different people can have different responses (both due to genetics, habituation, health, and other factors). 98.17.44.45 ( talk) 18:40, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Following oral, rectal, sub-Q, IM, or IV administration, analgesia may be maintained up to 7 hours.
From personal experience, vomiting caused by Morphine wouldnt happen if you eat something, before taking it. Or if you take lower doses of it. But aside from that, Morphine doesnt exist in tablets in many places, including in my country Israel. They only give it by injection here in Israel, and only for people who are going to die, or, have Cancer. Can this be added? Noam111g ( talk) 03:25, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Morphine is probably the most terrible medication in the world when it comes to addiction. It also has terrible side effects, so I was wondering if we can add something of that nature. Its used as a last resort, as they say. I've seen people in hospitals in Israel my country, begging nurses for Morphine and not getting it. They were in bed going to die, but they were only given Morphine when they screamed from pain. Noam111g ( talk) 03:27, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Some of your drug entries have extensive information on interactions of the substance in question. Morphine, one of the most used and most-studied must interact with some drugs. 70.49.18.153 ( talk) 18:36, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
