OR continue immediate release opioid. Calculate 1/6 or the total amount of opioid taken in previous 24 hours and give that amount 4 hourly as regular immediate release opioid dose

If increase in regular opioid dose is required determine the number of breakthrough doses in prev 24 hours and response. If more than three breakthrough doses are necessary in a 24 hour period and have provided relief, add the dose amounts to the regular 24 hour dose
