The CDC MME conversion factor to calculate morphine milligram equivalents of methadone is 3. Calculating MME for methadone in clinical practice often involves a sliding-scale approa ch whereby the conversion factor increases with increasing dose since the conversion factor of 3 for methadone could underestimate MME for a given patient.

similar limitations. When converting to methadone, lower MEDDs have lower conversion ratios than higher MEDDs. As compared to lower MEDDs, higher MEDDs may convert to smaller me thadone doses than one might expect. For example, 60 mg MEDD would be ~15 mg of methadone/day (a ratio of ~4:1); whereas 180 mg MEDD would be ~22.5 …

Various conversion ratios for morphine to methadone have been developed (see Table 2 for an example). If the previous dose of morphine is much higher than 300 mg/day the ratio increases even further. When converting at these doses it may be more suitable to do this in an inpatient setting where the patient can be monitored more closely.

Methadone is an oral long-acting synthetic opioid. Due to the unique pharmacokinetics of methadone, which has a long and variable half-life and a large volume of distribution, if doses are inappropriately high or increased too rapidly there is a risk of accumulation leading to sedation, respiratory depression and even death.

Ensure also that an appropriate dose of immediate release opioid is prescribed “as required (prn)” for breakthrough pain. This should be the 4 hourly equivalent of the total daily dose.
