How is a fentynol dosage determined? is it based on the patients weight?

Current opiod dose: We take the dosage of the oral opioid you are already on and convert it to the appropriate equivalent dosage of the Fentanyl patch. It is based upon your tolerance to opioid therapy already. It is not uncommon to have to increase the Fentanyl dose but because it's such a powerful drug that is very harmful in doses too big for your system, we tend to start a little lower and go from there.
