morphines
Potent narcotic analgesics
Morphines is the plural of morphine, the powerful painkiller derived from opium.
The plural appears in technical contexts discussing different formulations, derivatives, or chemical variants of the drug: The study compared several morphines and their receptor binding profiles.
In ordinary usage, morphine is uncountable—you wouldn't typically speak of multiple morphines.
