Brief Answer:
What reaction did you have?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There is no documented cross reaction between these drugs. I will think that you are not at risk of another reaction. However, be alert as to report any changes especially after taking this drug. Also, can you help provide what the exact reaction you had while taking morphine was?

I wish you well and hope to hear from you!
