The clinical impact of concurrently administered morphine and P2Y12 inhibitors in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not well understood. Large, randomized clinical trials are required to assess clinical outcomes with concurrent morphine and P2Y12 inhibitor use in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing PCI. Based on the currently available pharmacologic data, cautious use of morphine in primary PCI would seem prudent.
