Abstract
The effects of intravenous naloxone on several of the actions of intravenous morphine (mean dose 30 mg/70 kg) were studied in six volunteer subjects. Naloxone produced a well defined reversal of the respiratory depression, analgesia, and miotic and subjective effects of the morphine. The agonist action of morphine outlasted the antagonist action of a single dose of naloxone. The effect of repeated doses of naloxone was also short-lived, but continuous infusions were effective in maintaining reversal.Entities:
