Levophenacylmorphan is a morphinan derivative that acts as an opioid agonist. It has potent analgesic effects and is around 10x more potent than morphine.[1] It also produces all the normal opioid side effects such as itching, nausea, respiratory depression, and development of tolerance and dependence to its effects.[2]
