Titration: Start with 0.02 mg/kg/hr and titrate up to 0.1 mg/kg/hr (1 – 7 mg/hour). Decrease infusion rate by 10% to 25% every few hours to find the minimum effective infusion rate. The use of an opioid (morphine, etc.) concurrently will result in a reduction in the minimum effective infusion rate. ................
