Some of your drug entries have extensive information on interactions of the substance in question. Morphine, one of the most used and most-studied must interact with some drugs. 70.49.18.153 (talk) 18:36, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I suggest merging the article DepoDur into this one. It's just a specific formulation of morphine. DepoDur doesn't appear to have sufficient notability on its own to have a separate article. Marbletan (talk) 13:43, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done. I merged DepoDur into Extended-release morphine and Morphine. The only content to merge was just a single addition to the list of brands of extended-release morphine. Quarl ^(talk) 20:41, 28 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Currently: ”Morphine is a pentacyclic 3°amine (alkaloid) with 5 stereogenic centers and exists in 32 stereoisomeric forms”. But I really don’t understand how chirality centers 9 and 13 could be anything other than 9R,13S (natural morphine) or 9S,13R. So I would say there are only 16 possible stereoisomers.

I've created a new sub-section for trade names. I envisaged a bulleted list of names with markets. However we could add other details. Feel free to add more items and whatever seems appropriate. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 08:15, 27 July 2026 (UTC).Reply
