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 2) Using the PO morphine:PO oxycodone conversion ratio, convert to PO oxycodone: X = 40 mg PO oxycodone 60 mg PO morphine = 30 mg PO morphine
administered in conjunction with morphine or fentanyl. Morphine Equivalents: 10 mg morphine = 100 mcg fentanyl. 5 mg morphine 50 mcg fentanyl = 10 mg morphine.
§§ For a single dose, 10 mg IV morphine = 60 mg oral morphine. For chronic dosing, 10 mg IV morphine = 30 mg oral morphine. (N) Non-formulary at UIHC
morphine sulfate is available from Morphine Sulfate Tablets, Morphine Sulfate Administration of the 30 mg Morphine Sulfate Tablet and 30 mg of Morphine
administered in conjunction with morphine or fentanyl. Morphine Equivalents: 10 mg morphine = 100 mcg fentanyl. 5 mg morphine 50 mcg fentanyl = 10 mg 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.
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
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.
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
