Using Morphine as the standard. The following drugs and their dosages'injection are equal to getting the same amount of pain relief as 10 mgs of Morphine injection:

1.5 mg hydromorphone (Dilaudid) = 10 mg morphine

10 mg methadone (Dolophine) = "

15 mg oxycodone (percocet, tylox) = "

2 mg levorphanol (Levo-Dromoran) = "

1 mg oxymorphone (Numorphan) = "

5 mg Heroin = "

75 mg meperdine (demerol) = "

130 mg codeine = "

25 ug/hr Fentanyl = "
