[Severe respiratory depression after intake of a sustained-release morphine preparation].
A case of severe intoxication in a 33 year-old male who chewed a tablet of sustained-release morphine is presented. It is emphasized that patients are informed of the correct method of intake, especially of sustained-release agents since these are most likely to cause intoxication due to their high content of active substance.
