Dilaudid, the brand name for hydromorphone, and oxycodone are both powerful opioid pain medications but differ in their chemical structure and potency. Dilaudid is generally considered to be more potent than oxycodone, meaning smaller doses may achieve similar pain relief. Additionally, they have different formulations and onset times, with Dilaudid often providing faster relief. Both carry risks of addiction and side effects typical of opioids.

Oxycodone is a narcotic drug with no acetaminophin or Ibprofrin. Dilaudid is not mixed with anything. Dilaudid is also stronger than morphine, as is Oxycodone. 5mg dilaudid is equivalent to approx. 40mg of morphine. Do not take any drug unless ordered by a doctor, as either drug can cause severe problems if taken improperly.

What does 4 mg of dilaudid compare to Percocet?

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is a potent opioid analgesic, and 4 mg of Dilaudid is generally considered to be equivalent to about 30 mg of oral morphine. In terms of Percocet, which contains oxycodone and acetaminophen, 4 mg of Dilaudid is roughly comparable to 15-20 mg of oxycodone, depending on individual tolerance and metabolic factors. However, potency can vary between individuals, so clinical judgment and individual patient factors should always be considered.
