How do you calculate opioid equivalent?
Use the formula: Strength per Unit X (Number of Units/ Days Supply) X MME conversion factor = MME/Day. This value does not constitute clinical guidance or recommendations for converting patients from one form of opioid analgesic to another.
What is the equivalent of oxycodone?
| Approximate dose conversions for commonly used opioids (refer to important note below) | |
|---|---|
| Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) | Oxycodone |
| Approximate equianalgesic doses and ratios to determine daily morphine equivalent dose (MED) for commonly used opioids | |
| Drug | Approximate equivalent IV or subcutaneous dose |
| Fentanyl | 0.1 mg (100 mcg) |
Is buprenorphine the same as Tramadol?
Discussion: Tramadol has good efficacy in detoxification and relapse prevention in patients with moderate level of opioid dependence as compared to buprenorphine, Whereas Buprenorphine is better for maintenance treatment and is of higher clinical utility in severe level of opioid dependence where maintenance therapy is …
How much Suboxone can you take in a day?
The recommended target dosage of SUBOXONE sublingual film during maintenance is 16 mg/4 mg buprenorphine/naloxone/day as a single daily dose. Dosages higher than 24 mg/6 mg daily have not been demonstrated to provide a clinical advantage.
How are MME opioids calculated?
Average MME/day assigned to the patient: MME is calculated by adding the total daily amount of each opioid that a patient takes, converting each value to MME using a conversion factor based on morphine, then calculating the average day rate.
What’s the difference between Suboxone and oxycodone?
The buprenorphine in the Suboxone will replace the oxycodone at your opioid receptors. If you have a physical dependence to opiates and you take Suboxone before the opiates wear off then you will be thrown into precipitated withdrawals.
How many mg of Suboxone is the equivalent of methadone?
The equivalent of higher doses of methadone to suboxone then would cause a suboxone overdose using your calculations.If someone were on 150 mg of methadone, you are saying they would need to take almost 19 x 8 mg suboxone! That would be deadly!!!! Suboxone and methadone are just different.
How many milligrams of oxycodone do you need?

Which is stronger Bupe or Suboxone for pain?
2 mg of bupe (the drug in suboxone) is equivalent to only 30 mg of hydrocodone (norco). They put me on 16 mg of sub to start!!!!! WAY TOO STRONG for my addiction level. Suboxone is totally synthetic….it sticks to the same pain receptors but is a much longer acting opioid.
