I had a book years ago that I took from my aunt (who is a dentist) that she had from dental school. It was a Pharmacology book and it had a chart that compared various opiates through the IV route.
Here is how it was:
Morphine IV 10 mg =
Heroin 5 mg (2x more potent than morphine) (Morphine prodrug)
Hydromorphone 1.5 mg (7x more potent than morphine)
Fentanyl 0.1 mg (100x more potent than morphine)
Oxymorphone 1 mg (10x more potent than morphine)
Levorphanol 2 mg (5x more potent than morphine)
Oxycodone 20 mg (morphine is 2x more potent)
Meperidine (Demerol) 75 mg (morphine is 7.5x more potent)
Buprenorphine 0.5 mg (20x more potent than morphine)
So the list would actually go something like this:
Fentanyl
Buprenorphine
Oxymorphone
Hydromorphone
Levorphanol
Heroin
Morphine
Oxycodone
Demerol
I'm not including methadone on the list because I've never seen any real data for it the IV route. My gut feeling however tells me it's more potent than oxycodone both orally and intravenously. Methadone is an highly potent narcotic, while oxycodone is more unstable as it is quite potent orally, but loses much of it's potency IV. It's slightly more potent than morphine orally, but as you can see - morphine is 2x more potent intravenously. If I had to guess though, I'd say that 15 mg of methadone = 10 mg morphine IV.
