OxyContin® to OPANA ER sample calculation
A healthcare professional with a patient on a total daily dose of 60 mg OxyContin could do the following calculation:
60 mg x 0.5 = 30 mg (approximate oxymorphone total daily dose)
Administer as 15 mg OPANA ER every 12 hours
Titrate as needed by 10 mg every 12 hours every 3-7 days
