Why morphine is not use in seizures?
Morphine is not used to treat seizures because it can actually worsen the condition. Morphine is a central nervous system depressant, and it can slow down the electrical activity in the brain. This can lead to seizures, or make existing seizures worse.
In addition, morphine can cause respiratory depression, which can also be dangerous for people with seizures. Respiratory depression can lead to a decrease in the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain, which can cause seizures.
For these reasons, morphine is not used to treat seizures. There are other medications that are more effective and safer for this purpose.
