What is the proper dose of opana ER if using 50 mcg patch of Fentanyl?
20 mg of Opana ER
How strong is Fentanyl compared to hydrocodone?
Fentanyl is 80 to 100 x more powerful than morphine. a three day dose of fentanyl is 1 to 10 mg.
Will it help if you take methadone with Fentanyl patch?
Feels good if you've got the tolerance for it... But fentanyl in the right dose works WELL all by itself.
Is 90 mg of Morphine every day a stronger dose then Fentynl Patch 25mg hr?
The Fentanyl patches by over twice the margin.120mg of oral morphine every 8 hours is equal to 360mg per day of oral morphine (24hr period). The Fentanyl patch equivalent dose (Duragesic for comparison purposes) is a single 100mcg Fentanyl patch.
What will happen if you apply Fentanyl gel from a patch to skin?
It depends on the person and the amount of gel involved. If you're extremely tolerant to Fentanyl, you won't be affected as quickly, but for most people, respiratory / cardiac arrest and death are the most common results. It's slower than Cyanide, but the end result is the same. Fentanyl patches are designed to deliver a continuous, small dose over a period of 2-3 days. By removing the gel and applying it directly to the skin, the person is bypassing the timed-release component. Most people, high dose Fentanyl users as well, aren't capable of handling that high a dose at one time.
Side effects of general anesthesia cyclosporine predisonole?
Effects of Cyclosporine on Anesthetic Action Vincent N. Cirella, MD, Carol B. Pantuck, BA, Young Joo Lee, MD, PhD, and Eugene J. Pantuck, MD Received from the Department of Anesthesiology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York. Abstract The effects of a single dose of cyclosporine on anesthetic actions of pentobarbital and fentanyl were studied in mice. Mice given pentobarbital 2 hr after receiving cyclosporine, 60 mg/kg, slept a statistically significant 2.3 times longer than did controls. In a second study, each of two dose levels of cyclosporine was given before each of four dose levels of fentanyl. The analgesic effect of fentanyl, measured with the abdominal constriction test, was dose-dependent. Cyclosporine significantly increased the analgesia produced by fentanyl and did so in a dose-dependent manner. Cyclosporine by itself did not produce analgesia. Plasma levels of fentanyl and binding of fentanyl by plasma proteins were unchanged by cyclosporine treatment. The results show that a single dose of cyclosporine can increase pentobarbital hypnosis and fentanyl analgesia in mice but do not establish the mechanism of these interactions. Key Words: IMMUNE RESPONSE, SUPPRESSION—cyclosporine • INTERACTIONS (DRUG)—cyclosporine, anesthetics
How strong is the 50mcg Fentanyl patch?
strong enought that if your arent opiate tolerant that the lowest dose of the patch will make you overdose, dont be stupid, when it says for opiate tollerent patients only it really facking means it.
What is the highest dose that can be used for Fentanyl?
Fentanyl patches delivery slowly. If you rub the patch and then rub your mouth you could overdose in a matter of minutes. You need to be real careful with the patches and use them as directed. Do not just keep adding patches.
Insurance is making me change so I need to know the equivalent dose of oxymorphone to 100 Fentanyl patch?
The link to the Duragesic Conversion Tables is below.
How do you determine the dose of a drug?
usually read the bottle
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
What is the average dosage of Fentanyl?
There is no average dose - all fentanyl patients must first be "opiate tolerant", meaning they are already tolerant to the effects of opiate medications. Most, like myself, only start using it when other meds (Oxycodone, Morphine, etc.) aren't effective and long-term pain control is needed. Initial dosages are based on the patient's current medication. All opiates have a morphine-equivalency rating, as does Fentanyl. The patient's current med doses are converted its morphine equivalent, adjusted for increased pain control if necessary, then matched with one of the standard Fentanyl doses available as an initial dose. Dosage adjustment goes from there. Most initial doses are low - this is because the Morphine-Fentanyl equivalency charts are purposefully kept on the low end for patient safety considerations.
