I assume that you mean "how it it prescribed- Hydromorphone?"

It is a Class 11 Narcotic, similar to Morphine, BUT- 3-5 STRONGER. I can ONLY be prescribed by a doctor with a Licence to prescribe Class 11's. In addition, due to its scheduling you must PHYSICALLY be handed the prescription BY the DOCTOR and then HAND- DELIVER it to the Pharmacy. It CANNOT be "phoned in". It is (or should be) ONLY prescribed for severe pain that is uncontrolled by lesser measures. (Advil, Tylenol, etc.... and then the Class 111 Narcotics, such as Tylenol #3, Vicodin 5 mg., etc...)
