Opioid Conversion Calculator

Use our free Opioid Conversion Calculator to quickly estimate morphine milligram equivalents (MME), based on opioid type, strength, and dosage. Perfect for healthcare professionals and pharmacists.

Opioid Conversion Formula

MME = Opioid Dose × Conversion Factor
Example:
If a patient takes 30 mg of Oxycodone daily: MME = 30 × 1.5 = 45 MME/day

MME provides a standardized way to compare opioid potency across medications, helping clinicians reduce overdose risk and follow prescribing guidelines.

How this opioid conversion calculator works

This calculator multiplies the daily dose of a specific opioid by its standard morphine equivalency factor. The result is a consistent MME value that allows safe conversion between opioid types and dosages.

When to use this opioid conversion calculator

Converting between different opioid prescriptions

Assessing patient opioid exposure in MME/day

Evaluating overdose risk thresholds (>50 or >90 MME/day per CDC guidelines)

Supporting clinical decision-making for tapering or switching opioids

Educating patients and staff on opioid potency differences

Frequently Asked Questions

It uses standard CDC conversion factors for reliable estimates. Always confirm with clinical guidelines before prescribing.

MME stands for Morphine Milligram Equivalent. It standardizes opioid strength for safety and risk assessment.

No—this is an educational tool. Always consult prescribing guidelines and patient-specific factors.

It covers the most commonly prescribed opioids. For less common medications, consult clinical references.

The CDC notes increased risk of overdose at ≥50 MME/day and significant risk above 90 MME/day.

Yes—calculate baseline MME, then gradually adjust per tapering protocol.

No—dose adjustments for tolerance must be made clinically.
