📋Overview
Morphine is a powerful opioid medication derived from the opium poppy plant. It is primarily used to manage moderate to severe pain, especially in medical settings such as after surgery or for certain chronic conditions. Morphine works by binding to specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception and response to pain. It is also associated with potential side effects and a risk of dependence or misuse.
