Hi Q
>I thought diamorphine was poorly absorbed from the GI tract?
True, it's not well absorbed. Neither is morphine for that matter. To produce equivalent analgesia, morphine needs to be given at considerably higher doses (2 to 6 times higher) when given orally compared with when it is given by IM or SC injection.
