Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) – 2mg (Orange Tablets)

What it is:
Dilaudid is the brand name for hydromorphone hydrochloride, a potent opioid pain medication.

Clinical Benefits (when prescribed and monitored):

• Provides strong relief from moderate to severe pain, especially when other pain medications are not effective.

• Can be used in both acute settings (post-surgical pain, injury) and chronic conditions (cancer pain, long-term severe pain).

• Works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, reducing pain perception and response.

Important Notes:

• Dilaudid should only be taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

• There are significant risks, including tolerance, dependence, and potentially fatal overdose if misused.

• It is a controlled substance and should be stored securely, away from others.
