Excellent

This is a simple to use conversion system. Sure, I'd love to have this "in my head", but having it accessible on my IPad gives me an added measure of comfort knowing that I did it right, and covered all the factors in conversion, as well as keeping in mind renal and liver precautions. It is very doctor- friendly which is saying a lot; I'm not computer savvy. This is EASY! It will also probably be helpful to all the nurses in our hospice program as well. Many thanks for your good efforts! emc md
great app!

this app is very easy to use and helpful. the explanations and reference chart are very informative.
Great, accurate, fast, useful, cool logo

Used this almost daily on the Medicine wards. Far superior to the one in MedCalc. Fast, accurate, and useful. It's clear that the authors spent a lot of thought and had expertise in this area. In particular, the links to the Reference material give you all the details you need to have confidence in dosing opiates. I was particularly impressed by the Methadone dosing, which is not easy to do, and not done accurately in MedCalc. Check out the "Rule of 15's" in the reference material

Nice interface design but limited drugs and (worse) limited dozing route (no iv fentanyl choice??) reduce the usefulness of this for inpatients.
Dangerous conversion errors!
Frequent Travler
This conversion app is REALLY SCARY! I'm not sure where the table/reference is from but highly inaccurate! I truly hope no one is using this though the idea is great and a similar tool used to be on Epocrates. Most pain management prescribers know Morphine is half a potent as Oxycodone, Oxycodone 1/2-2/3 as potent as oxymorphone and it 1/2-2/3 as potent as hydomorphone.. ie morphine 60 mg=hydrocodone 60mg= Oxycodone 30mg=Oxymorphone 20=Hydromorphone 12= Fentanyl patch 25 mcg Patients will suffer and have major complications including death if anyone uses the current app for equal analgesic dosing! Please DON'T!
I use this app daily...
Pallimed Doc
and I tell all the residents and fellows who rotate with me to download it, with the caveat that the oxycodone conversion is wrong. My only wish is that the oxycodone to morphine ratio would be corrected to 2:3 so I don't have to manually recalculate it. Otherwise the opioid conversion are perfect for palliative medicine.
Easy to use conversion calculator - based on equianalgesic doses many docs use
Suzanakm
This calculator is easy to use, and references a commonly used equianalgesic dosing table. I recommend checking with your health-system to see whether this is the ratio card your institution uses. *it includes ratio options taught through EPEC - which is what major academic institutions use, including Institute for Palliative Care at San Diego Hospice. I disagree with the previous commentator suggesting it uses dangerous conversions.
