Equianalgesic Doses: morphine 10 mg IV = hydromorphine 1.5 mg IV = morphine 30 mg PO = EQUIANALGESIC DOSES FOR CONVERTING MORPHINE. TO TRANSDERMAL
Step TWO Convert IV morphine to Oral morphine. 1. Convert IV morphine to oral morphine by multiplying total dose by 2 (morphine. IV:morphine
IV morphine PRN with IV morphine rescue doses. IV hydromorphone PRN with IV hydromorphone rescue doses. Page 4. 4. Once the provider chooses one of the 4
IV morphine and PO morphine are NOT equivalent. IV morphine dose x 3 = PO morphine dose. 5. When transitioning from fentanyl to PO morphine please do the
Use the same dose for sulfate and hydrochloride trihydrate salts of morphine Convert IV fentanyl to IV morphine by multiplying rate of IV
IV:morphine IV, 1:10). This provides the approximate equivalent dose of IV morphine over 24 hours. Step TWO Convert IV morphine to Oral morphine.
IV morphine PRN with IV morphine rescue doses. IV hydromorphone PRN with IV hydromorphone rescue doses. Page 4. 4. Once the provider chooses one of the 4
Approximate equivalent doses for oral morphine, IV/SQ morphine, and TD fentanyl Use the equianalgesic ratio of PO to IV morphine: 30 mg po Morphine = 10 mg IV
–Morphine IV dose = ~ 1/3 of morphine PO dose. –So, morphine IV dose is ▫You are switching from oral morphine to IV morphine. –But you've been asked
