HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR DOCTOR: MORPHINE AND MOTILLIUM
Morphine
The world's supply of Morphine is largely derived from acres and acres of legal poppy fields growing somewhere in the north-west of Tasmania. At 15 cents an ampoule, Morphine is the cheapest of mankind's essential pharmaceuticals. It is hard to believe that a single "deal" of heroine can cost the consumer up to 200 dollars out there on the street.
Morphine is a blessing to those that suffer from moderate to severe pain. The drug does not so much abolish pain as alter the brains response to it. Somehow the pain doesn't seem to matter any more. Side effects of Morphine include nausea, vomiting and constipation. In overdose Morphine suppresses the breathing reflex. Death occurs as a result of respiratory arrest.
Up until recently one of Morphine's major limitations has been its short duration of action. The development of a long acting oral Morphine preparation has overcome this problem. It is now possible for doctors to prescribe twice daily doses of Morphine in sufficient quantities to relieve the most severe pain.
Motillium
Motillium is another non sedating antinauseant. It produces even less drowsiness than Maxalon; but still shares Maxalon's ability to get the stomach moving. Motillium is recommended in the treatment of nausea when people want to continue with a days work in spite of their off putting symptomatology.
