Morphine 100 Mg To Oxymorphone 30 Mg Conversion
UpdatedI'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?

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 current opioid medications (consult patient history, electronic health record, and
PDMP as necessary).
2. Convert each dose into MMEs by multiplying the dose by the conversion factor.
3. If more than one opioid medication, add together.
4. Determine equivalent daily dose of new opioid by dividing the calculated MMEs of current opioid by new opioid’s
conversion factor. Reduce this amount by 25-50% and then divide into appropriate intervals.
