To calculate the dose of SC morphine, divide total dose of oral morphine by 2. (Max dose = 25mg/24 hours). Is the metoclopramide effective? Yes. No. Yes.
Morphine (Oramorph) PRN, max hourly. You wish to prescribe One sixth of this is the 4hrly dose – prescribe 5mg Morphine subcutaneously PRN, max hourly.
Max dose: 5mg / 24hrs. AVOID HALOPERIDOL IN LEWY BODY. DEMENTIA AND morphine dose. (mg). Breakthrough oral morphine solution dose. (mg). Fentanyl
There is significant first-pass metabolism, therefore oral doses are 6 times larger than parenteral doses to achieve the same effect. Morphine reaches steady-state concentrations after hours. Parenteral morphine has a T max of 15 minutes and oral morphine has a T max of 90 minutes, with a C max of 283nmol/L. The AUC of morphine is 225
Morphine (Oramorph) PRN, max hourly. You wish to prescribe One sixth of this is the 4hrly dose – prescribe 5mg Morphine subcutaneously PRN, max hourly.
Then convert the morphine equivalent dose to the new drug utilizing the table. MAX BOLUS DOSE. MAX INFUSION RATE. Ropivacaine. 2mon: 4mg/kg. 2mon: 0.3mg
There is significant first-pass metabolism, therefore oral doses are 6 times larger than parenteral doses to achieve the same effect. Morphine reaches steady-state concentrations after hours. Parenteral morphine has a T max of 15 minutes and oral morphine has a T max of 90 minutes, with a C max of 283nmol/L. The AUC of morphine is 225
Morphine (Oramorph) PRN, max hourly. You wish to prescribe One sixth of this is the 4hrly dose – prescribe 5mg Morphine subcutaneously PRN, max hourly.
The bioavailability of morphine is %. There is significant first-pass metabolism, therefore oral doses are 6 times larger than parenteral doses to achieve the same effect. Morphine reaches steady-state concentrations after hours. Parenteral morphine has a T max of 15 minutes and oral morphine has a T max of 90 minutes, with a C max
