OR Morphine 20 mg Q4H prn. OR Oxycodone 10 mg Q4H prn. Equianalgesic Doses: morphine 10 mg IV = hydromorphine 1.5 mg IV = morphine 30 mg PO = oxycodone 20 mg
would like to change the Veteran to morphine. (30 mg morphine = 15–20 mg 30 mg morphine/ 20 mg oxycodone = x mg morphine/ 240 mg oxycodone x = [240
Oral morphine 30 mg = subcutaneous morphine 10 to. 15 mg Oral Methadone 20 mg = subcutaneous methadone 10 to 20 mg. Methadone
Morphine Mg Equivalent Dosing (MME) - (MS = oral morphine mg) Example: Tapentadol 100 mg = 40 mg morphine equivalent Example: Oxycodone 20 mg = 30 mg
Morphine Oral Concentrate 20 mg/mL (MORPHINE 20 MG/ML CONCENTRATE - ORAL). For pain. Generic Name: Morphine. Instructions. Measure the dose of liquid medicine

30 mg morphine/ 20 mg oxycodone = x mg morphine/ 240 mg oxycodone x = [240 mg oxycodone (30 mg morphine)] / (20 mg oxycodone)] x = 360 mg morphine The morphine to oxycodone ratio of was chosen to provide a slightly decreased dose following conversion, thus assisting with a faster discontinuation/taper schedule for this example.
