Equianalgesic doses of opioids

The basic comparative parameter is analgesia induced by 10 mg morphine in s.&thinsp;c. The conversion has an indicative value and numerous inter-individual differences must be taken into account (age, nature and intensity of pain, side effects, sensitivity or tolerance to opioids, method of administration, opioid to which it is rotated). Accordingly, the appropriate dose is still adjusted.
