I am surprised to learnt from this module that those who takes less than 60mg / 24hours oral morphine equivalent is considered opioid naive. I have always thought those even on mild opioids such as regular tramadol as not opioid naive.
And isn’t IV morphine is at least double the strength of oral morphine? I am not sure why IV morphine 6mg 4Hourly if converted to oral becomes 5mg-7.5mg 4Hourly. Would someone explain this as I am quite puzzled with the answers.
Appreciate if someone can clarify this. Thanks
Good case study
Nice and informative
