29 paź 2020 · This Morphine Equivalent Dose calculator determines the total daily MME to help with prescribing opioid dosage.
The opioid (equianalgesic) conversions calculator allows a clinician to generate an equivalent dose (equal amount of analgesia) when switching between different opioid analgesics. 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.
Equianalgesic conversions used in this calculator are based on the American Pain Society guidelines and critical review papers regarding equianalgesic dosing. 4, 5, 6, 7 When possible, chronic-dosing studies have been used, including bidirectional and dose-dependent conversions.
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.
9 lut 2023 · The Morphine Equivalent Dose (MED) conversions calculator allows a clinician to generate an equivalent dose of morphine for a patient taking one or more common opioids.
Convert your patient’s opioid daily dose to the Morphine Equivalent Dose (MED) by using this online calculator.
Listed below are methods for common conversions using standard published conversion ratios. The examples assume a change in drug or route at a time of stable pain control using equianalgesic doses. See Fast Fact #2 about conversions involving transdermal fentanyl; #75 and #86 about methadone.
