Use the MME conversion calculator below to determine the appropriate BELBUCA starting dose based on the patient’s total daily opioid dose prior to taper * For opioid-naive and opioid-intolerant patients, begin at 75 mcg QD or q12h for at least 4 days before continuing in increments of 150 mcg q12h.
This Morphine Equivalent Dose calculator determines the total daily MME to help with prescribing opioid dosage.
Opiate Conversion Calculator. Converts between different types and routes of opiates. IMPORTANT. This calculator is for double-checking opiate conversion, and should NOT be used as the primary means for ordering. INSTRUCTIONS. Select the opiate and route that you wish to convert from.
OME calculations at UCSF include opioids used as medication for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) such as methadone and buprenorphine. Some institutions exclude these drugs from OME calculations as they are not prescribed to treat pain.
Enter 24-hour total doses below, then click the convert button to display 24-hour equianalgesic doses.
The opioid conversion calculator tells you equivalent doses of analgesic drugs, such as morphine, fentanyl, or tramadol.
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.
Buprenorphine transdermal (TD): due to the limited evidence on dose conversions and practical experience of its use compared to other opioids, the calculator only allows conversion from buprenorphine TD to other opioids.
The Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) Calculator calculates total daily morphine milligram equivalents.
Conversions are complex. 1.3mg oral hydromorphone is equivalent to 10mg oral morphine. Please seek advice. Depending on age, comorbidities and prior side effects, consider reducing the dose of the new opioid by up to 33-50% when converting between strong opioids.
