  7. How does morphine work • Morphine works by “blinding” the opioid receptors inside cells, making the cells become sluggish, causing them to not be nearly as sensitive, or even cause them to stop functioning all together.

  8. Side effects of morphine • Morphine has a series of complex actions in the body, and carries its own risks. Morphine affects the cell membranes all over the body. There for affecting more then just the area of pain. It has many side effects, but the most dangerous is respiratory depression. It is not as much of a problem with lower doses of morphine, but when a higher dose of morphine is taken, the respiratory rate can decrease significantly.

  9. Side effects of morphine • Morphine can also cause histamine release, which causes itching of the skin, nose and possibly a mild flushing of the skin. Morphine has barely no direct effect on the heart or blood pressure, however morphine may lower heart rate or blood pressure after the pain relieve.
