Does the term "palliative morphine" have a particular meaning?
My mother was recently moved from codeine to tablet morphine with a dose of 10 mg every twelve hours. Additionally, liquid morphine could be provided as required at 2.5 mg every four hours. Would "palliative morphine" typically be provided at a higher dose than this?
