Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yes... I take 30mg of Morphine 30ms 3 times per 24 hours for last 10 years for chronic pain I was on 60mg but had it reduced..I got pulled over and was arrested and they said I had 0.435 mg/L per liter.. I don t have any idea what that means, All I know is I took 1 pill at 8 am and had an accident at 10 am..
It is the toxic level of morphine in the blood over which the decisions are taken in police and court of low. The mentioned limit is the level of the morphine active ingredient in the blood at the time of accident and not the drug dose taken on that day.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
