Morphine is a potent opioid analgesic derived from opium and is primarily used for the relief of moderate to severe pain. It acts as an agonist at the mu-opioid receptor and is widely used in both acute and chronic pain management, including post-surgical, cancer, and palliative care settings. Morphine is an approved drug and is currently utilized globally for its analgesic properties.
