1. This opioid dose equivalence mobile phone Application (App) is intended to assist the comparison of different opioid regimens in individual patients or in patient cohorts. It is not, and is not intended to replace, medical advice for any particular patient or circumstance.
2. Caution is required if opioid dose equivalence tables are used to guide opioid prescribing, as the administration of a calculated 'equivalent' dose of the replacement opioid may lead to over–dosage.
3. It should be noted that there is considerable variability in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of different opioids, within and between individual patients. In addition interactions with non–opioid drugs can strongly influence opioid pharmacokinetics.
4. Modified-release formulations can be sub–classified as delayed– or extended– release. Extended release of a drug can be achieved using sustained– or controlled–release delivery systems. When the opioid regimen includes modified– and immediate–release preparations, both should be included in calculation of the oral morphine equivalent daily dose (oMEDD).
5. Methadone, fentanyl lozenges and neuraxial opioids are not included in this App due to their complex and variable pharmacokinetics.
6. The calculation factors listed are derived from pooled data in the peer-reviewed literature and pharmaceutical company product information.
7. Any advice or treatment for any particular patient remains the responsibility of the practitioner. Each case is different, and practitioners need to make their own judgment and consider the individual circumstances in each case.
