Information About Morphine

Morphine is an opioid analgesic used to treat severe acute and chronic pain including cancer pain in Singapore. Available as a 5mg–100mg oral tablet, modified-release capsule, or intravenous infusion depending on indication, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Naloxone should be immediately accessible when initiating intravenous morphine in opioid-naive patients as respiratory depression is the most serious dose-limiting adverse effect, particularly in elderly and renally impaired patients with morphine-6-glucuronide accumulation. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Morphine online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
