You have right in saying that a person with liver disease, is determined to break the effectiveness of drugs.
The thing to understand is that the opioid analgesics are depressants. That's means your brain, heart, lungs start slowing down ... the drugs reach a level of toxicity in the body that they must cease their activities. Your brain will be closed first, and coma. His heart and lungs are working during this time, but his heart rate dropped considerably and his breathing becomes shallower and less.
This makes it extremely dangerous opiate.
Maybe you should ask your doctor this question
