Calculation of Oral Morphine Equivalents (OME) Oral Morphine Equivalents (OME) are approximations of the equianalgesic effects of other opioids compared to oral morphine Thus, OMEs indicate how much of the reference drug oral morphine would be required to treat pain as effectively as the opioid morphine is compared with
Opioid Conversion Guide | BELBUCA® (buprenorphine buccal film), CIII Explore the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention MME conversion factors for commonly prescribed opioids (including buprenorphine buccal film) Conversion tools are not a substitute for clinical decision making
Sublingual Buprenorphine vs. Morphine for Acute Pain | AAFP One possible alternative treatment is buprenorphine (Subutex), which is administered sublingually and has a high clinical safety profile and more prolonged duration of action Jalili and
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Buprenorphine - Emergency Medicine At a minimum, sublingual tablet formulations of buprenorphine should be available to be administered and or prescribed from the ED Consider adding intravenous, and sublingual films or sublingual combination buprenorphine-naloxone
Opioid conversion guide - Department of Health Why do we need an Opioid Conversion Guide? 30 mg oxycodone day x conversion factor = morphine day If a patient is taking morphine and is to be changed to oxycodone then it is necessary to do the reverse calculation and divide the morphine dose by the conversion factor 30 mg morphine day ÷ conversion factor = oxycodone day
Approximate equivalent Multiply total daily dose of prescribed drug by . . . Note: The potency ratios and morphine equivalent doses below are for reference ONLY and should NOT be used to guide treatment Tablets Approximate equivalent potency conversion ratio Multiply total daily dose of prescribed drug by the potency ratio to convert to oral morphine equivalent Examples Transdermal opioids
Buprenorphine and its formulations: a comprehensive review Sublingual, buccal, and illicit conversion mostly skips the first-pass hepatic clearance Therefore, sublingual tablet bioavailability is around 50% A three-compartment model assuming a first-order elimination best defines the pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine
A Brief Review of Buprenorphine Products - Pharmacy Times Although the pharmacokinetics among these 3 products are similar to the sublingual formulations, bioequivalence is variable Bunavail and Zubsolv are also only indicated for maintenance therapy following induction by Suboxone Table 1 illustrates the comparable doses available for these 3 products 15
Buprenorphine | Pain Management Education at UCSF Buprenorphine appears equivalent to morphine for acute pain states in multiple studies and using multiple routes In patients chronically on and tolerant to opioids for chronic pain, rotation to buprenorphine has been shown to improve pain control in ~70% of patients When used for pain, dose BID to QID, or use continuous release patch
