Dextromoramide

Dextromoramide (Palfium, Palphium, Jetrium, Dimorlin) is a powerful opioid analgesic approximately three times more potent than morphine but shorter acting. It is subject to drug prohibition regimes, both internationally through UN treaties, and by the criminal law of individual states. It is still rarely used in Australia and some European countries, but prescription is avoided due to its abuse potential and so use of dextromoramide is now mainly limited to terminal care.
