Morphine

For an informed discussion with your doctor or pharmacist. This information collection is not a clinically validated interaction checker. Missing data do not establish safety. Do not change or stop prescribed medicines on the basis of this information. The findings apply to the specific conditions studied; laboratory and animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.

Active substance: Morphine

Examples of brand names: MST Continus [DE]

ATC code: N02AA01

Main use (for orientation): Severe pain

Documented research summary

Direct human pharmacokinetics: Salcedo 2026, morphine 15 mg and CBD 2.5 mg/kg twice daily, cohort initially n=20: acute AUC geometric mean ratio 1.06 (90% CI 0.96–1.16), Cmax 1.19 (1.05–1.35); repeat measurement on day 11 after seven days of CBD pretreatment (nine-day total regimen; n=18), AUC 1.12 (1.00–1.26), Cmax 1.11 (0.94–1.30). Effects on parent morphine were limited. However, AUC∞ of active metabolite M6G increased by 26% after repeated CBD (90% CI 17–36%). Not an absolute null finding or a guarantee for high doses/renal impairment. Abrams 2011, n=21, mixed morphine/oxycodone group with vaporised cannabis: no significant AUC change, pain reduction in an uncontrolled short trial. Naef 2003, n=12, oral THC 20 mg/morphine 30 mg: no consistent analgesic synergy, only slightly additive with electrical stimulation; Roberts 2006, oral THC 5 mg plus intravenous morphine 0.02 mg/kg: synergy only in affective, not sensory pain dimension. Beaulieu 2006, nabilone n=41, postoperative patient-controlled analgesia: no morphine sparing, higher pain scores with nabilone 2 mg every 8 hours. Newer perioperative studies with morphine-equivalent endpoints are not morphine-specific pair studies. Preclinical CBD/THC UGT2B7 inhibition, but PBPK predicts only small exposure change; measured human values take precedence over models. CBG can reduce morphine antinociception in a mouse model; CBDV improves it in preclinical tests. No clinical efficacy/safety proof for rare cannabinoids.

Uncertainties and limitations

Human studies small/short, with different pain models and cannabinoid formulations. A modelled UGT effect is not a clinically proven strong interaction. No direct clinical CBG/CBDV/CBN pair study; older Δ8-THC/CBN withdrawal models partly conflict depending on timing/model. Do not confuse morphine equivalents with actually administered morphine.

Hine 1975 (PMID 1237925) concerns precipitated withdrawal in morphine-dependent rats and CBD or CBN administered in addition to Δ9-THC. Not an isolated morphine–CBD/CBN pair study or proof of analgesic synergy, altered morphine concentrations or safe withdrawal treatment. Original abstract assessed; group sizes, precise exposures and complete statistics unresolved without verified full text.

Separately recorded findings

10 separately recorded findings. Each statement applies to its documented study context.

CBD – clinically studied

Finding ID: B0034

Type of result: No / minor effect under the conditions studied

Observation: Acute CBD co-medication: morphine AUC∞ ratio 1.06 (90% CI 0.96–1.16), Cmax 1.19 (1.05–1.35). Repeated CBD: AUC∞ 1.12 (1.00–1.26), Cmax 1.11 (0.94–1.30). Limited pharmacokinetic effect overall; do not describe as a categorical null finding or exclusion of pharmacodynamic risks. Metabolites separate: after repeated CBD, M6G AUC∞ increased to 1.26 (90% CI 1.17–1.36), M6G AUClast to 1.26 (1.19–1.35), M6G Cmax to 1.11 (1.01–1.21). M3G AUC∞ largely unchanged; acute M3G Cmax increased to 1.12 (1.03–1.21).

Mechanism: UGT probe

Study type: Open-label sequential human pharmacokinetics

Context studied: Healthy adults: 20 enrolled; acute morphine pharmacokinetics n=20, after repeated CBD n=18 (two discontinued early). Morphine 15 mg on days 1, 4 and 11; CBD solution 2.5 mg/kg twice daily (=5 mg/kg/day) on days 4–12, nine days total. Day 4: acute co-medication; day 11: after seven days of pretreatment. Sampling up to 48 hours.

Clinical interpretation: Limited pharmacokinetic signal

Limitations and uncertainties: Limited parent-morphine effects do not exclude pharmacodynamic risks. Active metabolite M6G shows a measurable exposure increase. Do not extrapolate to other opioids, chronic-pain patients or different exposures.

Original sources for this finding: Clinical Study to Evaluate Drug Interactions of Cannabidiol with Citalopram and Morphine in Healthy Adults [CL11]

CBD – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: B0107

Type of result: Context-specific finding; read the limitations

Observation: Morphine glucuronidation inhibited in the laboratory; unbound Ki 0.16 µM.

Mechanism: UGT2B7 inhibition

Study type: In vitro plus static modelling

Context studied: Human liver/recombinant microsomes; formation of M3G/M6G.

Clinical interpretation: Clinical significance unresolved

Limitations and uncertainties: Active metabolite M6G also affected; simply equating with stronger analgesia is invalid. Additional context from merged row B0144: laboratory investigation; no corresponding inhibition finding for 7-carboxy-CBD. Human CBD–morphine study shows only a limited effect. Consider total/unbound concentration and model assumptions. Summary row of the same original study as B0107/B0108; do not count as independent evidence.

THC – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: B0108

Type of result: Context-specific finding; read the limitations

Observation: Morphine glucuronidation inhibited in the laboratory; unbound Ki 0.37 µM.

Mechanism: UGT2B7 inhibition

Study type: In vitro plus static modelling

Context studied: Human liver/recombinant microsomes.

Clinical interpretation: Clinical significance unresolved

Limitations and uncertainties: Static in-vivo prediction not clinically confirmed. Additional context from merged row B0144: laboratory investigation; no corresponding inhibition finding for 7-carboxy-CBD. Human CBD–morphine study shows only a limited effect. Consider total/unbound concentration and model assumptions. Summary row of the same original study as B0107/B0108; do not count as independent evidence.

CBD – theoretical plausibility

Finding ID: B0109

Type of result: Context-specific finding; read the limitations

Observation: Modelled morphine AUC increases approximately 5% in healthy people and 10% in cirrhosis, not high clinically measured increases.

Mechanism: UGT2B7 inhibition; dynamic PBPK

Study type: PBPK model

Context studied: Published 2024; model inputs/scenarios limit the conclusion. Virtual healthy and liver-disease populations.

Clinical interpretation: Smaller prediction than the static model; clinical significance unresolved

Limitations and uncertainties: Not a measured combination or evidence of relevant respiratory depression due to this pharmacokinetic change. Not a human experiment; do not confuse with in-vitro/static model findings.

Original sources for this finding: Evaluation of the Drug-Drug Interaction Potential of Cannabidiol Against UGT2B7-Mediated Morphine Metabolism Using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling [ME11]
