Is hydromorphone stronger than morphine sulfate for pain relief?
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) is roughly ten times more potent than morphine sulfate. The Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) worked MUCH better for me for pain than morphine did but the "narcotic effect" with dilaudid is very intense so be careful doing stuff like driving until you know how it affects you if you get that prescribed to you.Knowledge based on: 10 years of pain medications...a lot of different ones!
What Narcotic analgesic stronger than morphine sulfate?
quick and precise
What is the difference between hydrocodone and hydromorphone?
Hydrocodone is Vicodin with Tylenol. Hydromorphone (aka Dilaudid) is straight Hydromorphone. No Tylenol or any other OTC meds mixed in. Obviously, Hydromorphone is much stronger. It is said that it is stronger than Oxycontin.
What other drug is a 2mg Dilaudid equivalent to?
hydromorphone is 6-8 times stronger than morphine
Is morphine sulfate 60 mg stronger than robaxin 7.50?
Totally different drugs. Morphine is an opiate and Robaxin is a skeletal muscle relaxer. Yes, Morhine is much stronger!
Does hydromorphone cause greater respiratory depression then morphine?
A milligram of hydromorphine (brand name dilaudid) is approximately 5-7 times stronger than a milligram of morphine. Thus 1 mg of hydromorphone is more effective at treating pain and more likely to have side effects, such as respiratory depression than the same dose of morphine. People should be started on lower doses of hydromophone than morphine for initial pain management. However, once the relative strengths are taken into account, hydromorphone is about as likely to cause respiratory depression as morphine.
What is a hydrmorphone?
Hydromorphone is a semi-synthetic derivative of morphine. The brand name drug is Dilaudid. Hydromorphone is approximately 6-8 times more potent than morphine. Many hospitals have begun using hydromorphone in the ER instead of morphine because of its easier side effect profile.
Is oxycodone stronger than hydromorphone?
not even close..
Is dilatid like morphine?
I'll assume you mean "DILAUDID." Yes, both are mu-opioid agonists and work in a similar fashion. Typically, dilaudid (hydromorphone) is more efficacious (stronger) than morphine, but tends to last for shorter time. A patient that is in moderate pain may be given, for example: * 10mg Morphine Sulfate every 6 hours by I.M. injection * 2mg hydromorphine HCl, PRN (as needed) for breakthrough pain, by I.M. injection. In this instance, the doctors are using morphine to cover the pain in 6 hour blocks of time, while using the hydromorphone as needed for any pain that still remains.
