Author of the new British study Dr. Alyn H. Morice, a professor of respiratory medicine at the University of Hull in East Yorkshire said, ?Ours is the first study which proves morphine can be effective in chronic cough. We are also able to quantify its effect for the first time, two-thirds of patients will respond to the low dose we use.?

Morphine is typically used in high doses to help patients deal with an excoriating amount of pain. Although it helps users to cope with pain, it is in high doses of consumption that users develop a strong addiction to the medication.

The study consisted of 27 seven adults, 9 men and 18 women. The average age of participants was 55 and all participants were experiencing a chronic cough for at least 3 months.

HealthDay News Reports, ?Benefits occurred by the fifth day of treatment and continued throughout the four-week study. The daily "cough score" levels dropped by 40 percent.
Then, 18 of the 27 people decided to continue in a three-month extension of the study, with most increasing their morphine dose to 10 milligrams twice a day.
At the study's end, similar improvements in cough were noted at both doses.?

Although morphine was found affective to treat chronic cough, there were some side affects associated with the medicine. 40 Percent reported constipation while 25 percent experienced drowsiness.
