morphine-6β-glucuronide but not morphine Oral diacetylmorphine (heroin) yields greater morphine bioavailability than oral morphine: bioavailability related
Morphine is metabolized to inactive morphine-3-glucuronide (60%) and to active morphine-6-glucuronide (10%). Morphine has an oral bioavailability of about 30% in adults. Morphine-6-glucuronide has an oral bioavailability of about 4%, but probably can be converted back to morphine in the infant's gut and absorbed as morphine.

Oral diacetylmorphine (heroin) yields greater morphine bioavailability than oral morphine: bioavailability related to dosage and prior opioid exposure.
