Apomorphine is a non-selective [[dopamine receptor]] agonist and chemically belongs to the class of morphinans. It is often synthesized but can also be extracted from certain plant sources.

==Pharmacology==

Apomorphine primarily acts as an agonist at dopamine receptors in the brain. It has a strong affinity for D2 receptors and can therefore have both stimulating and sedating effects, depending on dosage and circumstances of consumption.

The use of apomorphine carries risks, including potentially severe side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and alterations in consciousness. It is strongly recommended to follow harm reduction practices and handle consumption responsibly.

==Legal Status==
The legal status of apomorphine varies by country. In some countries, it is available as a prescription medication, while in others, it may be strictly controlled or even illegal.
