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
Oxycodone = 10 mg IV Morphine. Conversion from IV to PO: Example Morphine Sulfate. Standard concentration = 1 mg/mL. Loading Dose: 2 mg; repeat
Conversion from IV to PO: Example Morphine 10 mg IV = 30 mg PO (multiple by 3) Oxycodone SR (Oxycontin). 10 mg PO q12hr. 20 mg PO q12hr. 40 mg PO q12hr.

X = 16 mg IV morphine. HYDROmorphone 1.5 mg IV. HYDROmorphone 2.4 mg IV. Calculate the conversion from IV morphine to PO morphine: morphine 30 mg PO = X. X = 48

HYDROmorphone mg(IM/IV/SC), HYDROmorphone mg(PO), Kapanol mg(PO), Morphine All conversions are made by first calculating the oral morphine equivalent
