Major (14)
- Morphine + Alprazolam— Concomitant use increases risk of respiratory depression due to actions at different CNS receptor sites.
- Morphine + Alprazolam C-Iv— Concomitant use increases risk of respiratory depression due to additive CNS effects at different receptor sites. Monito…
- Morphine + Baclofen— Combined use of baclofen injection (intrathecal) and epidural morphine may result in hypotension and dyspnea.
- Morphine + Baclofen Injection— Combined use with morphine (particularly epidural morphine) may result in hypotension and dyspnea.
- Morphine + Clopidogrel— Opioid agonist delays and reduces clopidogrel absorption, decreasing exposure to metabolites. Consider parenteral antipl…
- Morphine + Clopidogrel Bisulfate— Opioid agonist that delays and reduces clopidogrel absorption, decreasing exposure to active metabolites. Consider paren…
- Morphine + Gabapentin— Coadministration may cause respiratory depression and sedation, sometimes resulting in death. Patients should be observe…
- Morphine + Midazolam— Concomitant use increases risk of respiratory depression and accentuates sedative effect. Monitor closely for respirator…
- Morphine + Midazolam Hydrochloride— Concomitant use increases risk of respiratory depression and sedation. Opioids interact at mu receptors while benzodiaze…
- Morphine + Midazolam In 0.8% Sodium Chloride— Concomitant use increases risk of respiratory depression due to actions at different CNS receptor sites. Sedative effect…
- Morphine + Midazolam Injection, 10 Mg— Concomitant use increases risk of respiratory depression and accentuates sedative effect. Monitor closely for respirator…
- Morphine + Propofol— May increase anesthetic/sedative effects and cardiorespiratory depression; can result in pronounced decreases in blood p…
- Morphine + Propofol Injectable Emulsion— May reduce induction dose requirements and increase anesthetic/sedative effects with pronounced decreases in systolic, d…
- Morphine + Ticagrelor— Opioid agonist delays and reduces absorption of ticagrelor and its active metabolite through slowed gastric emptying.
Moderate (10)
- Morphine + Citalopram— Opioids increase risk of serotonin syndrome when used with citalopram. Monitor for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndr…
- Morphine + Citalopram Hydrobromide— Opioids increase risk of serotonin syndrome when used concomitantly with citalopram. Monitor for signs and symptoms of s…
- Morphine + Gabapentin Enacarbil— HORIZANT taken with morphine causes increased somnolence/sedation, dizziness, and nausea compared with either drug alone…
- Morphine + Metformin Hydrochloride— Cationic drug eliminated by renal tubular secretion with potential for interaction with metformin by competing for commo…
- Morphine + Norelgestromin And Ethinyl Estradiol— CHCs have been shown to decrease plasma concentrations of morphine.
- Morphine + Norethindrone Acetate, Ethinyl Estradiol And Ferrous Fumarate— Oral contraceptives may induce conjugation of morphine, increasing its clearance.
- Morphine + Norethindrone Acetate/Ethinyl Estradiol— Oral contraceptives may induce conjugation of morphine, increasing its clearance and decreasing plasma concentrations.
- Morphine + Prasugrel— Opioid agonists delay and reduce absorption of prasugrel's active metabolite, presumably due to slowed gastric emptying.
- Morphine + Sertraline Hydrochloride— Opioid that increases risk of serotonin syndrome. Monitor for signs and symptoms during treatment initiation and dosage …
- Morphine + Trospium Chloride— May increase serum concentration of trospium and/or morphine due to competition for renal tubular secretion. Careful pat…
