Morphine is a potent analgesic and is known for its effective pain-relieving capabilities.
It is widely used in the medical field, specifically for relieving pain in patients with terminal cancers, after major traumas or injury, except head injury or after surgeries.
But sadly, morphine is a highly addictive drug, and physical dependence can easily develop that may lead to drug abuse.
