MORPHINE EQUIVALENT
DOSES
100 mg of MST has the equivalent dose of 25 ug/hr
of fentanyl over a day. A
24 hour diamorphine dose should be
1/3 of the 24 hour morphine dose.
The breakthrough dose of short acting morphine such as oramorph should be 1/6th of the total 24 hour dose of morphine.
The equivalent dose of oral oxycodone
0.833 is to diamorphine SC 1.3 (about 2/3).
