Dilata is the street name for the medication, Dilaudid. Dilaudid is the brand name for hydromorphone.

Dilaudid is a pain relieving narcotic, an opiate. It works on the central nervous system (causing drowsiness, slowed reaction, pupil constriction, etc.). The effects are somewhat similar to the effects of alcohol. However--It is a stronger synthesized form of Morphine. It causes release of dopamine in the brain, and produces strong feelings of relaxation. Dilaudid has a high potential for abuse, and when given by medical professionals is monitored accordingly. Physical and mental withdrawal symptoms can occur with prolonged use, but doctors will taper you off of it if need be.
