    His doctor will have prescribed a safe dose and will be monitoring his response to the medication. For further advice, ask your doctor.

      I don't know whether or not it will be harmful; the doctor must have had good reason to prescribe it and would not have done so lightly. I am not a doctor, that is why I suggested it is better discussing it with a doctor

    If you mean MORPHIN for pain, it's very addictive, so yes I think it's very dangerous !!!

      I was addicted to morphin for many years because of severe back pain !

      After my 7th back surgery, my back pain was gone !

      I had a blood test to see if my liver and kidneys was alright !

      The blood tests came back OK, so I knew that I better get off the morphin !

      I started wheening myself off of the morphin and in a couple of months I was free of morhin !

      I hope that I answered your question ?

      I wish the best of luck !

      Yes. Thank you very much for your reply. But it seems there is a little problem with my friend. He says his pain is increasing after taking the injection. Could you please tell me is that possible? once again thank you very much for your reply.

      I didn't have morphin injections but took it by pills !

      I'd think that it would be unusual for morphin making a person's pain worse, but not unheard of !?

      Has your friend told his doctor about it !

      Sounds more like his pain is not being controlled by the morphine and could be the reason for the pain getting worse.The injection itself could also cause pain, especially if it was not done properly. I fear anything to do with needles because a botched blood test left me with permanent neuralgia
