Long lasting respiratory depression induced by morphine-6-glucuronide?

J Hasselström et al. Br J Clin Pharmacol. 1989 Apr.

Abstract

We report a case of long lasting respiratory depression after intravenous administration of morphine to a 7 year old girl with haemolytic uraemic syndrome. The plasma concentrations of the active metabolite M6G were more than 10 times those normally seen and the half-lives of M6G and morphine were prolonged.
