Opium is a natural extract obtained from the latex of poppy capsules (Papaver somniferum) and contains several alkaloids, including morphine and codeine. It is used in medicine for the treatment of severe pain and diarrhea, as well as an ingredient in some pharmaceutical preparations.

The medication is administered orally, in the form of tincture or capsules, as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage to avoid the risk of dependence or other adverse effects.

Side effects may include drowsiness, constipation, nausea, or, in rare cases, respiratory depression.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as respiratory or liver diseases, to ensure the safe use of opium.
