Morphine is a powerful opioid medication used to treat severe pain. It is typically prescribed by doctors and dentists for short-term pain relief after surgery or injury. Dentists are able to prescribe morphine because they are licensed to prescribe controlled substances.
Morphine is a very effective pain reliever, but it can also be addictive. It is important to take morphine only as directed by your doctor or dentist. If you take too much morphine, you could experience serious side effects, including respiratory depression, coma, and even death.
