==Side Effects and Contraindications==
Side effects of opioid drugs include:
* Emesis. This is worst in animals that are not in pain at the time of administration, e.g. when morphine is administered as a pre-operative pre-medication.
* Negative chronotropic effects
* Respiratory depression
* Reduced gastro-intestinal motility. This is of most clinical significance in the horse, which is prone to post-operative ileus.
