INSTRUCTIONS. Note: This is for converting oral opioids only, and should not be used for IV to oral conversions. For combination drugs (e.g. Percocet = acetaminophen + oxyCODONE), enter only the dose of the opioid component (e.g. if 5 mg/325 mg, enter "5").

29 Οκτ 2020 · Morphine Equivalent Dose (MME) Calculator. Determines the total daily MME to help with prescribing opioid dosage. Refer to the text below the tool for more information about the usage of MMEs in opioid prescription to prevent overdose risk. Purpose.
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.
The FDA defines an opioid-tolerant patient as receiving for 1 week or longer at least 60 mg oral morphine/day or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid. OME calculations facilitate monitoring changes in opioid utilization over time.

Dose-dependent conversions: The conversion ratio of certain opioids can be dependent on the dose of the original opioid. In the case of converting morphine to methadone, methadone has a relative potency of 4:1 at lower morphine doses, but becomes much more potent (12:1) in patients converting from very high morphine doses. 5 , 7
9 Φεβ 2023 · Abbreviations: mcg/hr = microgram per hour; mg = milligram; MME = morphine milligram equivalent. * Multiply the dose for each opioid by the conversion factor to determine the dose in MMEs.
