Morphine 45 Mg

How many 15 mg of Morphine Sulfate equal 4 of the 10 mg Hydrocodone?? ## Morphine and Hydrocodone are generally considered equal in strength, when taken orally, so a 10mg Morphine tablet would be equal to 10mgs of Hydrocodone, this your 15mg Morphine is actually a stronger dose than what you were taking of the Hydrocodone. 3 of the Morphine 15mg tablets would be 45mgs and that would actually still be 5mgs stronger than the 40mgs in 4 of the Hydrocodone tablets. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hydrocone is a short acting pain medication. The morphine is long acting. ## 2 anna half roughly equal strength as morphine and hydrocodone are equal strength

How are you? To give you a comparison, Oxycodone is one and a half times stronger than Morphine, so for each 30mgs of Oxycodone, you'd need 45mgs of Morphine to be equivalent. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and...

Does anyone know if 2 15mg morphine tabs would be equal to 1 30mg oxycodone. Both are immediate release. I have been on the 30's but due to my upcoming surgery my Dr. feels that I need stronger pain med's. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. ## Actually, the Oxycodone is one and a half time stronger than Morphine, so to equal 30mgs of the Oxycodone would require 45mgs of the Morphine.

i take morphine sulfate imm rel 30 mg tab x3 daily. the 30 mg doesnt help my pain, my question is can i split 1 of my 30 mg in half & take 1 whole 30 mg at 1 time making it 45 mg ## You need to discuss this with your dr. Immediate release can be broken. Long acting/extended release should not be.

I am wondering if you guys can help me. What is the comparison of 30mg oxycodone IR vs 30mg morphine instant release. Say I take 3 30mg oxycodone, how many 30mg instant morphine would I need? ## Oxycodone is one and half times stronger than Morphine, so for each 30mg Oxycodone, you'd need 45mgs of Morphine, or for 90mgs, you'd need 135mgs of Morphine. Both are narcotics, so you should make sure that you aren't taking more than your doctor has prescribed, because they can cause depression of the central nervous system, as well as respiratory depression. Is there anything else I can help with?

i take 140 mg kapanol a day and 300 mg of tramal a day for chronic pain in my shoulders from failed surgery now my teeth are breaking away jn chunks? HELP ANYONE ## I just ended having to have all my teeth pulled at age 45. I had cancer, so from that answers knee surgeries,.and a crushed back. From the pain meds, and chemo just try and keep some bottoms and get a partial. Otherwise I have no troubles and yes they were breaking at the him line. ## With long-term use, narcotics tend to leech minerals from the body and damage occurs to your teeth much easier, due to the calcium loss. The issue is compounded by the fact that they also cause dry mouth, so a lot of bacteria that would normally be washed away is suddenly allowed to sit on the teeth for a much longer period of time, which can r...

Which is stronger, 30mg Oxycodone or 30mg Morphine Sulfate? ## I'm sorry that you had trouble posting, but glad you persevered. As to your question, Oxycodone is one and half times stronger than Morphine. So, if you were taking 30mgs of Oxycodone, you'd need 45mgs of Morphine to be an equivalent dose. You can find more Oxycodone details here and there are more Morphine details here. These are both narcotics, so they both carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Sorry for the somewhat terse notation but I was frustrated in getting little to zero information in an immediate manner, my impatience was/is unacceptable. Thank you for your professional follow up. ...

On 30 mg 2 x daily for 45 days. Took last 30 at 7pm yesterday. Is one orange AN415 for 4 days going to help me withdraw and stop opiates all together. I dont want this addiction anymore? ## Hello, Ginger! How are you doing? You can't take Suboxone, until you are in full withdrawal. Otherwise, it can throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals that could include grand mal seizures. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. And it is doubtful that just 4 days of it is going to be enough to completely beat this. Have you consulted your doctor? Unless you've been abusing the Morphine, you should be able to just taper off of it after ...

So for each 30mg Oxycodone, you'd need 45mgs of Morphine. However because everyone reacts to these medications differently, it's almost like comparing apples and bananas here. Regarding side effects, drug interactions state that "using morphine together with oxycodone may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also e...

Is this Morphine? ## A white, round tablet with 54 over 142 on one side is listed as 10mgs of Methadone, it is an opiate that is commonly used to treat drug addiction, and pain. NDC: 00054-4571 The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Inactive ingredients may include: Magnesium Stearate Microcrystalline Cellulose Corn Starch Ref: DailyMed Methadone Nikki, Oxycodone is actually one and half times stronger than Morphine. But which one works best can vary from person to person, since we are all different. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is 30 mg Morphine better than 30 mg Oxycodone?

I'm trying to find out how many 100mg ER Morphine sulfate pills are equal to 45 Oxymorphone 30mg ERs for the month. Can anyone help me with the math please? ## Sure - according to the Opioid equivalency table on Wikipedia, Oxymorphone is 3 x stronger than oral Morphine. So, in basic math terms, each dose of 30 mg Oxymorphone is equivalent to roughly 90 mg or Morphine (oral). So the # of tablets would be approximately the same, since it looks like your Morphine dose is high enough to equal the Oxymorphone dose if that makes sense. Hope this helps! ## So there is a shortage on ALL ER Oxymorphone as of Jan and Feb 2021. I live in Florida I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem in other states? ## To calculate the total daily dose: 1. Determine the total daily doses of cur...

different strengths of morphine ## Morphine is a narcotic analgesic. The strength varies, depending on what formulation you are asking about. For instance the extended release tablets are available in strengths of 15mg, 30mg, 60mg, 100mg and 200mg. The regular release tablets come in 10mg, 15mg and 30mg. What specific type are you asking about? ## I am currently taking 360 mg. of morphine sulfate CR per day, (2-60 mg. tablets, 3x a day) and 45 mg. of Oxycodone IMM for breakthrough pain (1-15.mg tablet, 3x a day) My new Pain doctor switched me to 1-60 mg. tablet of Kadian CR and up to 90 mg. of oxycodone IMM (1-2 tablets of oxycodone IMM 15 mg. 3 x a day) for breathrough pain.Isn't Kadian CR the same as morphine sulfate CR?

Is 60 Mgs ER MORPHINE twice daily with three 15 mg breakthrough stronger than 45mg of METHADONE ## Hi Debbie, There really isn't a simple yes or no answer for this type of question, so please correct me if I'm wrong in interpreting this information from an opioid conversion chart linked below (under 'Appendix 1'). According to this chart, 120mgs of Morphine ER is said to be equivalent to 48mg of Methadone? If this holds true, that would mean 60mgs of Morphine ER is equal to 24mg of Methadone. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1163279 One other important thing to take into account aside from this, is that there are various types of clinical considerations that may affect the translation or conversion of drug equivalencies to & from Methadone (such as a weaker generic, ...

I have been struggling with chronic pain most of my life. I have been taking 3 60MG Extended Release Oxycontin tablets a day along with 3 30MG Oxycodone instant release for breakaway pain. After 3 years of the same dosage it's not working as well as it used to. So my doctor decided to change up the meds a bit. She gave me Morphine Sulphate 60MG ER twice a day and for the life of me I cannot feel this working. It's only been a day but usually I would have pain relief around 30-45 after taking the Oxycontin and then about 3-6 hours of relief. How is this Morphine twice a day at the same MG going to give me the same relief I was getting before AND was already struggling with hence the change to the Morphine? I don't get it, especially after everything I have read falls in line ...

My Dr has given me the option to switch from Opana ER 45mg to msCottin ER! How many MG of MSCottin ER will it take to equale the Opana ER 45mg?? ## Hello, Sharon! How are you? Opana is actually much stronger than Morphine, so you'd need 135mgs of the MS Contin to equal each 45mgs of the Opana. That's quite a lot to take. Is the Opana no longer working for you? This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Oxycontin or Fentanyl might be better options. ## Thank you for the information. It's helped a lot! I am switching medications because of several different stomach problems I have.
