We don't give morphine for patients suffering from:
- head injury : because it can depress the respiratory centre and increase intracranial pressure
- bronchial asthma : because histamine release will cause bronchiol-constriction
- pregnancy : might lead to fetal respiratory depression and withdrawal syndromes in newly born
- impaired renal or hepatic functions
- myxedema : because it can decrease basal metabolic rate
- old people and infants : can cause respiratory depression
- shocked patients : can cause severe hypertension
- acute undiagnosed abdominal pain
