Morphine Overdose
Morphine is a very strong painkiller. It works by dulling the pain perception center in the brain. Morphine overdose occurs when a person intentionally or accidentally takes too much of the medicine, and when more of the drug is ingested than your body can handle.
Morphine overdose can also occur when morphine is used in combination with other substances including alcohol, other prescription medications and illegal drugs. Signs of overdose are numerous and vary by person. A morphine overdose can be quite dangerous.
