With cancer, the "three step analgesic ladder" program widely implemented, more and more oral morphine preparations for the treatment of cancer pain patients, and achieved good effect. Danshi, in clinical practice, some patients on caution Koufu common adverse reaction morphine Zhiji Erbu with treatment; Youxiedrugs over time and thus delay, to some extent, affected the two step implementation of the program affected the "Let the cancer patients no pain "goals to reduce the patient's quality of life. Experience has shown that morphine preparations if used properly, can uphold the majority of patients taking a satisfactory therapeutic effect, the real was forced to withdrawal due to adverse effects of morphine, or use other means pain in only about 10%.
