210 The real answer according to Mass Pain Clinic is 7.5mg Dilaudid = 30mg Morphine per Mass.HospitalPain Clinic That is an ORAL dose... it changes if it is admistered IV to: 1.5mg Dilaudid IV = 10mg Morphine IV
yes, every time I am in the hospital they put new patches on me and give me 1mg dilaudid IV. and at home I wear the patch and take 2mg dilaudid by mouth.
You most certainly can if you are waiting to meet your maker.
Yes, very. Hydromorphone is dilaudid which 1mg is equivalent to 8mg of IV morphine
You will have to wait until the 20 mg of Dilaudid has left your system before you can drink alcohol. Usually it will take about 8 hours for any medicines to leave the system.
The word "better" is very vague and patients can react very differently to medications. However, there are a number of advantages to selecting Dilaudid (AKA Hydromorphne) over Morphine. Both drugs have similar effects as hydrocodone and Oxyconde. Dilaudid is estimated to be 3-4 times stronger than Morphine therefore the amount of drug prescribed is usually significantly less. Dilaudid has a lower risk of dependency and typically causes less nausea than Morphine.
Depends on morphine form. Solution stronger
Yes we give it in the hospital when the pain control pump is delayed for some reason (iv infiltration/patient a hard stick)
Dilaudid
Dilaudid

Yes, it is the generic form of dilaudid, hydromorphone. I am prescribed the same pills. The strength is obviously 4mg which is the second highest dose of dilaudid that is available. They come in 2mg, 3mg, 4mg, and 8mg.
