Morphine is an opiate medication that is part of the narcotic analgesic family. Morphine is used to treat severe pain when other non-opioid painkillers are not strong enough. Morphine is a highly addictive substance and is often referred to on the streets as âAuntie Emâ, âDroneâ or âMorphâ. Serious side effects of morphine include respiratory depression, and mild side effects are nausea, constipation and drowsiness.
I care for a COPD patient who has a prn order for morphine to treat his dyspnea. Why would the physician order this drug when respiratory depression is a side effect? Morphine is the drug of choice for managing dyspnea in COPD. However, it's given in much smaller doses for dyspnea than for pain. Morphine helps a patient breathe easier in a number of ways: It reduces anxiety and may blunt the body's response to hypercapnia and hypoxemia that contribute to dyspnea. Its vasodilating effect reduces preload, which in turn relieves pulmonary congestion that also contributes to dyspnea.
