Step 2. 15 mg oxycodone/30 mg morphine = 120 mg oxycodone/x mg morphine x = [120 mg oxycodone (30 mg morphine)/(15 mg oxycodone)] – Give morphine IR 15mg BID
1.5 mg Morphine: PO: 30 mg Morphine: IV: 10 mg Other clandestine conversions of morphine, to post-addicts to be 1.80 2.66 mg of morphine sulfate to 1 mg
Table 1 Example: A patient is currently receiving 20 mg of IV morphine per day and the prescriber wishes to convert to PO oxycodone. 1) Using the IV morphine:PO morphine conversion ratio, convert to PO morphine: X = 60 mg PO morphine 20 mg IV morphine = 10 mg IV morphine X mg PO morphine 30 mg PO morphine
morphine x 2 doses/day or 60 mg oral morphine/day. Then. 60 mg oral morphine/day ÷ conversion factor = subcut morphine/day. 60 mg. ÷ 3. = 20 mg subcut/morphine
morphine x 2 doses/day or 60 mg oral morphine/day. Then. 60 mg oral morphine/day ÷ conversion factor = subcut morphine/day. 60 mg. ÷ 3. = 20 mg subcut/morphine
Oral morphine 30 mg = subcutaneous morphine 10 to. 15 mg. Oxycodone mg) of oral morphine. Oral morphine dose 27 to 36 mg/24 hours.
Each milliliter of sterile solution contains 2 mg (equivalent to 1.75 mg Morphine), 4 mg (equivalent to 3.50 mg Morphine), 5 mg (equivalent to 4.37 mg Morphine), 8 mg (equivalent to 6.99 mg Morphine) or 10 mg (equivalent to 8.73 mg Morphine) of Morphine Sulfate USP in 1 mL total volume of water for injection solution with inactive ingredients.
administered in conjunction with morphine or fentanyl. Morphine Equivalents: 10 mg morphine = 100 mcg fentanyl. 5 mg morphine 50 mcg fentanyl = 10 mg morphine.
