Table 1 Example: A patient is currently receiving 20 mg of IV morphine per day and the prescriber wishes to convert to PO oxycodone. 1) Using the IV morphine:PO morphine conversion ratio, convert to PO morphine: X = 60 mg PO morphine 20 mg IV morphine = 10 mg IV morphine X mg PO morphine 30 mg PO morphine
would like to change the Veteran to morphine. (30 mg morphine = 15 20 mg oxycodone) Patient X is on oxycodone SA 40 mg Q8hr and you would like to change the Veteran to morphine. (30 mg morphine = 15 20 mg oxycodone)

by G Christie 2024 Cited by 30(6) This schedule consisted of morphine, 30 mg, on one occasion ; morphine, 20 mg, on two occasions ; morphine. 20 mg, and amiphenazole, 40 mg, on two
30 mg morphine/ 20 mg oxycodone = x mg morphine/ 240 mg oxycodone x = [240 mg oxycodone (30 mg morphine)] / (20 mg oxycodone)] x = 360 mg morphine The morphine to oxycodone ratio of was chosen to provide a slightly decreased dose following conversion, thus assisting with a faster discontinuation/taper schedule for this example.
