Q: What is an estimated IV to PO conversion ratio of Morphine?
Answer: 1:3
While converting intravenous (IV) to oral (PO) opioids two principles should be kept in mind
- Conservative estimates should be used.
- The optimal dose should be found with judicious titration due to the fact that cross-tolerance equivalency is not established.
