Does opium increase or decrease heart rate?!


Question:

Does opium increase or decrease heart rate?

I was wondering if opium would increase or decrease a person's heart rate. I'm not talking about like smoking it or anything, I'm talking about hydrocodone or oxycodone. Also, is there a corelation between taking them and weigh loss?
Thanks


Answers:

Hydrocodone and oxycodone are opioids, which like opium, decrease heart and respiratory rates.
