As far as I know (things could have changed) but I believe they come in 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg. I know it doesnt sound like much, but there's a reason for that... Dilaudid is considered one of the strongest opiates out there.

------

There is also a 1mg Dilaudid pill as well as a 0.5mg, but availability varies by country. (As stated above, 2, 4, and 8mg are the most common)

The injectable form comes in formulations of 1mg/mL, 2mg/mL and 4mg/mL. There is also a 10mg/mL Dilaudid HP (high potency) for use ONLY in patients already tolerant to opioids.

Dilaudid/hydromorphone cough syrup is used as a third line antitussive when other narcotic syrups (codeine and hydrocodone) fail to suppress painful cough. It is generally considered the strongest antitussive legally available.

Extended-release capsules and suppositories, though less common, are also available (though not in all countries)

The 2mg is 20mg, 4mg is 40mg, 8mg is 80mg.

How high of a dose of intravenous Dilaudid can a patient receive?

It depends on the person and how high their tolerance is, the doctors also take into account any medications you are on that they know about and how much you weigh. There is no limit for how much you can take if your tolerance is super high I have been give me 60 milligrams which would normally kill an opiate naive person! generally someone who has not taken painkillers and has no tolerance can you stand up 4-8 milligrams of Dilaudid staggered over an hour and that will be more than enough to kill any pain that they have.
