Description | : | Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is a potent opioid analgesic used to manage moderate to severe pain, often in cases where other pain relief methods are insufficient. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain and producing feelings of euphoria and relaxation.
Dilaudid can be administered in various forms, including oral tablets, liquid solutions, and injectable formulations. Due to its strength, it is typically prescribed for short-term use after surgery, for cancer pain, or in other acute pain situations. |
