Calculates total daily morphine milligram equivalents. There is no completely safe opioid dose, and this calculator does not substitute for clinical judgment. Use caution when prescribing opioids at any dosage, and prescribe the lowest effective dose.

There may be several possible reasons to switch analgesics including: drug cost, availability, lack of effectiveness of the current drug, or to minimize adverse effects. This tool also provides precise control over methadone conversions as well as corrections for incomplete cross-tolerance.

2020年10月29日 · Tracking MMEs helps minimize the potential for prescription drug abuse/misuse. MME is determined by using an equivalency factor to calculate a dose of morphine that is equivalent to the ordered opioid. According to the CDC guidelines, opioids should be prescribed at the lowest effective dose and calculations re-checked.

Medication Route Onset of Action Duration of Action Usual Dosing Interval Equi-Analgesic Dosing Morphine (IR) (MSIR®, Roxanol®, various) PO 30 to 60min 3 to 6hr 3 to 6hr 30mg PO IV 5 to 10min 3 to 6hr 3 to 6hr 10mg IV SC 15 to 30min 3 to 6hr 3 to 6hr 10mg IM/SC

In patients receiving long-acting opioid formulations (SR, transdermal), a "rescue" dose for breakthrough pain is recommended. 12 Generally, an immediate-release form of the same opioid is used (eg, morphine IR with morphine SR). The size of the breakthrough dose should be 5-15% of the patient's 24-hour baseline dose.

2024年1月23日 · OxyIR is an opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. This medicine is usually given after other treatments did not work or were not tolerated. Extended-release OxyIR is for around-the-clock treatment of severe and chronic pain that requires longer treatment. OxyIR is not for use on an as-needed basis.

What is Morphine Equivalent Dose (MED)? The MED Calculator is designed to assist in the calculation of patient’s opioid intake. Fill in the mg per day for whichever opioids your patient is taking to automatically calculate the total morphine equivalents per day.

If an NDC for an opioid is not found on the MME Conversion Table, please send an email to [email protected]. Include ‘Drug Not Found’ in the subject line of the email.

Convert your patient’s opioid daily dose to the Morphine Equivalent Dose (MED) by using this online calculator.

2024年1月23日 · Use: For the management of acute and chronic pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate.
