Heroína (Diacetilmorfina). Es uno de los derivados de la morfina con acción analgésica más potente, 2 mg son equivalentes a 10 mg de morfina. [...] El hecho de ser quizás el opiáceo con acción más euforizante ha hecho que su uso clínico sea proscrito ya que no agrega ventajas a la morfina y el riesgo adictivo es mucho mayor. 4, record 1, Spanish, - hero%C3%ADna
