Opioid-tolerant patients
Discontinue all other around-the-clock opioids
Substantial inter-patient variability, see prescribing information for guidance
Opioid-tolerant definition
Use of higher starting doses in patients who are not opioid tolerant may cause fatal respiratory depression
Patients who are opioid tolerant are those receiving, for 1 week or longer, at least 60 mg/day oral morphine, 25 mcg/hour transdermal fentanyl, 30 mg/day oral oxycodone, 8 mg/day oral hydromorphone, 25 mg/day oral oxymorphone, or an equianalgesic dose of another opioid
Limitations of use
Use of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, even at recommended doses, and because of the greater risks of overdose and death with extended-release opioid formulations, reserve for patients whom alternative treatment options (e.g., non-opioid analgesics or immediate-release opioids) are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of pain
Not indicated for acute pain or as an as needed analgesic
Detoxification
20-30 mg taken orally once daily or minimum dosage necessary to suppress withdrawal; may be titrated to 40 mg/day in divided doses and continued for 2-3 days, then decreased 20% daily as tolerated
Dosing Modifications
Renal impairment (CrCl less than 10mL/min): 50-75% of normal dose
Hepatic impairment: Not recommended in severe liver disease
Dosing Considerations
Conversion from oral to parenteral: Parenteral-to-oral ratio, 1:2 (5 mg parenteral = 10 mg taken orally)
To convert to methadone from another opioid, use available conversion factors to obtain estimated dose
Do not abruptly discontinue methadone in a physically dependent patient
