Morphine sulfate works by binding to mu-opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, leading to a decrease in the perception of pain and an altered emotional response to pain. This results in both analgesic and sedative effects.
Common Dosages
- Oral Concentrate: 20 mg/mL or 100 mg/mL (varies by formulation).
Typical Dosing
- The initial oral dose for adults may vary based on prior opioid use and pain severity, typically starting at 15 mg to 30 mg every 4 hours as needed. Doses may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerance.
