AB  - Neuraxial  morphine  is  the  most  common  long-acting  opioid  for  prolonged  analgesia  after  a  cesarean  delivery.1  However,  it  is  associated  with  pruritus  and  postoperative  nausea  and  vomiting  (PONV).1,2  Both  of  these  side  effects  are  common  after  neuraxial  morphine,  and  the  side  effects  are  more  common  with  intrathecal  doses  greater  than  150  µg.  Few  parturients  experience  a  severe  form  of  pruritus,  PONV  or  both,  and  would  rather  experience  pain  than  pruritus  and/or  PONV;  thus,  it  is  important  to  treat  both  in  a  timely  manner.
