Does Dilaudid contain codeine

Answer 1

The pharmicyst said no, but there is a codine allergy alert on the incert. I'm alergic to codine and need to know for sure.

CORRECTION: There is NO codeine in Dilaudid, both are opiates, but Dilaudid is hydromorphone, while codeine is, well codeine. Dilaudid is a fully synthetic opiate, while codeine is a naturally occuring opiate from the Poppy plant.

Answer 2

Dilaudid does not contain any tylenol. Dilaudid is simply hydromorphone and no other acive ingredients. Hydromorphone is roughly 3 to 4 times stronger than morphine. Most of the painkillers than contain acetomeniphen (active ingredient in tylenol) are the weaker ones like hydrocodone, codeine and small doses of oxycodone.

Answer 3

Dilaudid has straight hydromorphine in it which is MUCH stronger than codiene.
