Dangerous conversion errors!
This conversion app is REALLY SCARY! Im not sure where the table/reference is from but highly inaccurate! I truly hope no one is using this though the idea is great and a similar tool used to be on Epocrates.
Most pain management prescribers know Morphine is half a potent as Oxycodone, Oxycodone 1/2-2/3 as potent as oxymorphone and it 1/2-2/3 as potent as hydomorphone..
ie morphine 60 mg=hydrocodone 60mg= Oxycodone 30mg=Oxymorphone 20=Hydromorphone 12= Fentanyl patch 25 mcg
Patients will suffer and have major complications including death if anyone uses the current app for equal analgesic dosing! Please DONT!
