Purdue is sometimes voted as the top college of pharmacy, sometimes ucsf.
But you'd think that the MOA of a very popular medication could be obtained
by a purdue student.  Go to your drug information center and ask them to
teach you how to look for the answer without going to a newsgroup.  Best of
Luck and Best wishes.  You are going to one of the best schools in the
world.  Take advantage of it.

Well its not quite that simple. When people are still arguing about how
morphine and heroin works, I think its fair enough to come here, and say
"what do you guys think"

Becasue if you're just looking on pubmed, sometimes its hard to tell
whether a fact shown in a paper is "excepted" on not.

If that was you wayne, there at the bottom, talking with the
quote marks infront of your name, maybe you should look at the
action of the glucuronidated products.

The exact same query is going on with codeine, some people think the
active metabolite is morphine-6-glucuronide.
