morphine. 100 mg: 1 tablet contains 100 mg morphine hydrochloride trihydrate equivalent to 75.92 mg morphine. 200 mg: 1 tablet contains 200 mg morphine
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
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
UNIT PRICE, PILL IMAGE. morphine oral. -. 30 mg tablet. morphine oral. -. 60 mg tablet. morphine oral. -. 60 mg tablet. morphine oral. -. 15 mg tablet. morphine
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.
e.g. 30 mg Oral Morphine = 10 mg SC Diamorphine. Oral Morphine to Oral Oxycodone e.g. 30 mg Oral Morphine = 15 mg SC Morphine. Oral Morphine to Oral
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
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
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
