Morphine milligram equivalents (MME) or morphine equivalent doses (MED) The relation between dosage and overdose risk is different for buprenorphine.
Buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual tablets and film (Suboxone) and buprenorphine MEDD, morphine equivalent daily dose; Bup, buprenorphine; BID, twice daily
For most patients, morphine is the strong opioid of choice. For information on the approximate dose equivalence of oral morphine to fentanyl and buprenorphine
– MAE (morphine analgesic equivalent). – Rifampin Reduces Oral. Morphine Absorption; A Case of Transdermal. Buprenorphine Selection Based on Morphine.
Buprenorphine hydrochloride is a parenteral opioid analgesic with 0.3 mg buprenorphine being approximately equivalent to 10 mg morphine sulfate.
Buprenorphine → Morphine. 1:100. Morphine → Hydromorphone. 5:1. Oxycodone Equivalent doses are based on the 24 hour dose of fentanyl or buprenorphine
For most patients, morphine is the strong opioid of choice. For information on the approximate dose equivalence of oral morphine to fentanyl and buprenorphine
