For an opiate-naive patient, 60mg would be a lot. The weight of the patient should also be taken into account.
So, say there is a patient who weighs 180lbs (~90kg) with a broken leg, I would start them off on 10--15mg of morphine via an intramuscular injection.
After 15--20 minutes, if the patient was still in excessive pain, I might give another 10mg. I'd repeat this, if necessary, up to maybe 50mg, or possibly 60mg.
One would NOT start out giving 60mg. It may not kill your patient outright, but it could cause excessive sedation and respiratory depression.
I wish I knew. In fact that was going to be my same questiom because that's my same dosage. Good luck
which is stronger morphine 5 or morphine 60
60mg
after 120mg of morphine, who the hell cares?
what does SR mean on morphine 60mg pills
I am surprised by this question since it is a easy one but, Morphine is by far stronger. Percocet is based from Morphine, heroin is also based off of morphine. But they both have different feelings when taken but the morphine of that mg will blow a Percocet 5 away.So basically the Morphine allow stronger.
According to many online sources, one should better not smoke Morphine, as most of the substance will be destroyed in the heat - so it will be basically very much useless. One should rather dissolve the Morphine in water.
Oxycontin and Percocet are both oxycodone not morphine or hydromorphone.
in beleive so it just has to be use with a cold water mix and be sure to crush and mix till its a powdery
A lot. Like,200000 mg.
With the information give you can't calculate the amount. Morphine comes in different concentrations IE 30mg / ml or 60mg / ml oral and more, it also come in different strength in the injection form. Without the concentration you can't calculate the dose. Wayne L Doctor of Pharmacy
