Flashcards
Morphine respiration tolerance
Morphine respiration tolerance
Morphine's effect on respiration develops tolerance at a slower pace than other effects.
Euphoria tolerance shift
Euphoria tolerance shift
As tolerance to euphoria develops, the dose-response curve for euphoria shifts to the right, needing more morphine for the same effect.
