Best Answer

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.

What is stronger morphine 60mg or percocet 5mg?

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.
