Opioids hydromorphone Dilaudid

Among the compounds that fall within this class are hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin—an oral, controlled-release form of the drug), morphine, fentanyl, codeine, and related medications. Morphine and fentanyl are often used to alleviate severe pain, while codeine is used for milder pain. Other examples of opioids prescribed to relieve pain include propoxyphene (Darvon) hydromorphone (Dilaudid) and meperidine (Demerol), which is used less often because of its side effects. In addition to their effective pain-relieving properties, some of these medications can be used to relieve severe diarrhea (for example, Lomotil, also known as diphenoxylate) or severe coughs (codeine).

Sold as Dilaudid in the U.S., hydromorphone is a semisynthetic, differing from morphine only by presence of a 6-keto group, and the hydrogenation of the double bond at the 7-8 position of the molecule.57 Like morphine, it acts primarily at the mu opioid receptors, and to a lesser degree at delta receptors.

It is used orally or by injection for the relief of moderate to severe pain, hydromorphone hydrochloride hydromorphone. 

Hydromorphone is a semisynthetic opioid agonist prescribed for control of moderate to severe pain. It was first synthesized in 1924 and introduced by Knoll pharmaceuticals under the brand name Dilaudid . Intravenous hydromorphone is about 5-6 times more potent than morphine however, when administered epidurally, morphine provides greater spinal selectivity and 2-3 times greater analgesic potency than hydromorphone. Hydromophone is available as a...
