Which is the strongest narcotic medication between morphine and hydromorphone?
Hydromorphone is between 5 and 8 times stronger than morphine
Is Hydromorphone for pain?
Yes. It is hydrogenated morphine.
Does Hydromorphone get you high?
Yes, very. Hydromorphone is dilaudid which 1mg is equivalent to 8mg of IV 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.
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.
Will your urine show a significant amount of Morphine and Hydromorphone if you take 60mg of Oxycontin 2 times a day and Percocet 10 over 325mg 1 a day?
Oxycontin and Percocet are both oxycodone not morphine or hydromorphone.
What is hydro morphine 6 mg?
You probably meant HYDROMORPHONE, which is a drug very similar to morphine, except it takes less of it to get the same effects as morphine.
How can you turn hydrocodone into hydromorphone?
Yes, some hydrocodone is turned into a small amount of hydromorphone by the liver. Just like codiene is turned into morphine by the liver enzymes.
Demerol breakdown to morphine in drug screen?
No. Only morphine and hydromorphone (Dilaudid) will break down into the same compound. Demerol reduces to norperidine after it is metabolized.
Is hydromorphone stronger than morphine sulfate?
Yes, approximately 3-4 times 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.
Does Dilaudid and norco show up in same category of urinalysis test?
No, Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) does not show up in the basic opiate test which is part of the standard drug test. The opiate tests look for morphine (which both codeine and heroin break down into). Hydromorphone does not break down into morphine. But also hydromorphone can be detected with a simple drug test.
