I think that the name of the formule is redundant, its only enough to say 3-ethoxy-morphine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.217.199.46 (talk) 16:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True, explaining the drug as slightly more potent than codeine but less so than morphine only is giving the pharmacological profile of 3-ethylmorphine, whereas 6-ethylmorphine is also "ethylmorphine" but more potent than morphine by several times than morphine itself, in much the same way codeine (3-methylmorphine) is related to heterocodeine (6-methylmorphine) and the latter is more potent than heroin, but the former is weaker than morphine. Yet "3,6-" of either 'methyl-' or 'ethyl-' morphine is not elaborated upon in either instance anyhow. Nagelfar (talk) 07:25, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
