- Abstract
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) is a pure opioid indicated for moderate to severe acute pain, and severe chronic pain. It is only prescribed when other first-line of treatments have failed, due to its high potency, abuse potential, and overdose risk. Moreover, it can be prescribed off-label for refractory cough suppression.
