    Product Description

    Desomorphine is a morphine derivative in which the 6-hydroxyl group and the 7,8 double bond have been reduced. Compared to morphine, it demonstrates similar opioid-like effects with rapid onset, 10 times greater potency, and short duration of action.1 This product is intended for forensic and research applications.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
