The influence of intra venous promethazine on intra venous morphine for acute pain management in the emergency department: a randomized clinical trial

Pain is the most common presenting complaint in Emergency Department (ED). Morphine is the gold standard for treatment of pain and has unpleasant effects related to the dosage. Promethazine is among the drugs being used to treat the unpleasant effect and is believed to have analgesic component. T...
