hi i work at a nursing home and we dont usually administer too many morphine tablets,
i had a question about morphine 35mg
what is it equivalent to , to another opiate narcotic analgesic
maybe close to oxycontin 20-40mg?
or dilaudid 4-8mgs?
is this a slow release tablet?

It varies from person to person but for the mythical "average" person, 30 mg of oral morphine is about equivalent to 7.5 mg of oral Dilaudid.
Oral morphine is made in both immediate release and slow release forms. One way you could find out which one you're administering would be to call a pharmacy with the inscription on the tablet and ask them to look it up for you.
