What Mcg. of Duragesic is equal to 120mg of Opana ER a day?

Hey Nana, In your patch box is a chart that will give you the correct answer you are looking for. Open the box and open the entire sheet of instructions. You will find charts , go to the one you need or as your Pharm buddy. Pain free days for you I pray. Hugs,Joanne

Hi Nana, there is a 12 mcg patch - perhaps you need to be on 62 mcgs of the Duragesic patch, a 50 mcg and a 12 mcg. I don't know what you pay for prescriptions and if you could afford to be on two patches or not, but this might solve the strength problem.

When you change over to a new medication it doesn't always correspond to a conversion calculation. The best way to know how much of the patch you need is how you are doing it- trying it out at one level and seeing if you need more. As long as your doctor is willing to work with you on finding the right dosage you'll do well. You always want to be on the low side, as over time your body will adapt to the medication and you will need more. Best wishes to you - eliza

Im speaking from experience when I say pain patches always make people sick or feel verry disoriented. I prefere oxycontin ER for many reasons. first of all, patches absorb differentially for every one, and they fall off all the time. Oxycontin ER and mild breakthrough pain pills are more effective and adjustable according to the way you feel at different times during your pain. If your'e like me some days are worse than others. With patches your'e forced to have the maximal dose weather you need it or not. Plus, if the patche's dose is too much, you have alot longer time till it wares off! And if things are really bad, if youre like me, i want to be able to feel normal and function as fast as possible. Good luck and be carefull with opana, its verry dangerous and unpredictable. And verry strong even if you dont think its working, it can bother you up to a few days after you have taken it. Hope this helps even though its not exactly what you asked.
