Morphine
Morphine is a potent opioid primarily used for the treatment of severe pain. It acts primarily as an agonist at μ-opioid receptors and thereby influences pain perception and mood. Due to its high potential for addiction and the risks of respiratory depression, careful handling is required. Morphine can also induce sedative effects and is used under medical supervision.
