Dilaudid is the brand name for hydromorphone, a powerful opioid pain medication used to treat severe pain. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception and response to pain. Dilaudid is available in various forms, including oral tablets, liquid, and injectable solutions. Due to its potency, it is typically prescribed when other pain medications are ineffective. However, it carries a high risk of addiction, abuse, and overdose, making careful medical supervision essential. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, and constipation.
