Extended release oral tablets come in 15, 20, 30, 60, 100,
120 and 200 mg strengths, depending on the
manufacturer. There are also immediate release tablets in
15 & 30 mg strengths, and oral liquid solutions in 10mg/ml
and 20 mg/ml.
30 mg of Morphine IR is equal to approximately 8 mg of Diluadid, so there is about a 4mg morphine to 1 mg of dilaudid ratio. So 45 mg of morphine would be equal to 5.6 mg of dilaudid. To answer your question, 45 mg of Morphine IR would stronger than taking the 4 mg of dilaudid.
The strength of Morphine depends on the concentration of the drug. If 6 mg Morphine is the prescribed strength, a little over 1/2 a cc of Morphine 10 mg needs to be administered. Morphine is supplied in 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml ampules. CW: For water, a cc is (just about) a mg. For stuff dissolved in water, a cc is about a mg. For Hg, doesn't hold.
yes my doc told me today people do that
Morphine and Demerol (meperidine) are both opioid analgesics, but their potency differs. Generally, morphine is considered stronger on a milligram-to-milligram basis. Specifically, 4 mg of morphine is approximately equivalent to 50-75 mg of Demerol, making morphine significantly more potent. Therefore, 4 mg of morphine is indeed stronger than 50 mg of Demerol.

The concentration of morphine can vary, so it's important to know the specific concentration of the morphine solution. However, for a standard concentration of 1 mg/mL, 2 mg of morphine would be equal to 2 mL.
A 60 mg dose of morphine is significantly stronger than a 10 mg dose of Norco, which contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Morphine is a more potent opioid, and typically, 10 mg of morphine is roughly equivalent to 1.5 to 2 mg of hydrocodone in terms of pain relief. Therefore, 60 mg of morphine is much more effective in managing severe pain compared to 10 mg of Norco. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate dosage conversions and pain management options.
A millilitre (mL) is a unit of volume. A milligram (mg) is a unit of mass."20 mL" of morphine would imply that the morphine is suspended in a liquid, and depending on morphine's solubility in this liquid and so forth, there can be a different amount of morphine per mL. Usually a liquid suspension like this will be "X mg per mL" or "X mg/mL" as labelled on an ampoule or something similar.For example, you one may find an ampoule that contains 4 mg/mL of morphine (in which case the answer would be 80 mg) or one that contains 20 mg/mL (in which case the answer would be 400 mg), etc.There is no fixed answer, *but* you should know that a morphine dose is measured in mg and not mL, so if all you know is the amount of mL, it's not safe to measure out a dose.
In terms of measurement, milligrams (mg) and milliliters (ml) represent different quantities: mg measures mass, while ml measures volume. Morphine's density varies depending on its formulation, but generally, morphine solutions contain a specific concentration that can be converted between these units. Therefore, whether mg is "higher" than ml depends on the concentration of morphine in the solution being referenced.
