Anticholinergic drugs are substances used to help reduce and block the effects of acetylcholine. They are mainly used for the treatment of stomach cramps, motion sickness and ulcers. Some anticholinergic drugs include:

Ipatropium Bromide

The short answer is that, if you are under medical supervision, preferably in a hospital setting where you are being monitored, dilaudid (hydromorphone) can be taken for breakthrough pain when methadone is used as the primary analgesic (pain killer) for severe pain.

Methadone is a tricky drug to prescribe and finding the safe dosage that provides pain relief involves starting at a low dose and gradually increasing it until the patient gets relief, while monitoring the patient's vital signs and watching for the many possible side effects. The technical term for this is titration, and it is best done in a hospital setting, especially since patients in severe pain usually have other medical conditions that add to these risks.

Both dilaudid (hydromorphone) and methadone are opioid narcotics, but methodone is a more long-acting drug while hydromorphone is a more short-acting drug. Both are used for treating severe pain, but due to its short-acting nature, hydromorphone is more suited to treating breakthrough pain that occurs despite treatment with another drug.

The problem with taking hydromorphone with another opioid narcotic like methadone is that they can have a combined effect that can depress respiration to the point where medical intervention may be needed to prevent death. In a hospital setting where you can be monitored and where life support and other measures can be taken in an emergency, this is less of a concern. Outside a hospital setting, it is difficult and risky to determine the safe dosage for methadone for specific patients.

One of the difficulties in using methadone is that its effects on respiration can last long after it has stopped providing pain relief. This presents problems for the very patients that it is likely to be prescribed for - those with severe chronic pain. Taking another dose of methadone, or another opioid narcotic such as hydromorphone, when the first dose of methadone is wearing off, adds to the risk that, at some point, you may stop breathing.

A physician who specializes in pain management is best qualified to prescribe a course of treatment for severe pain, which may or may not include the use of multiple drugs. Self-prescribing narcotics, or experimenting with the dosage, can be very dangerous.

diloted is a hydromorhine and is stronger than morphine

Diluadid is hydromorphone and it is stronger weight to weight. An IV at the hospital of Diluadid is usually 1.5 mg as for morphine it is between 10mgs to 15mgs. It is basically 8 times stronger as I said weight to weight. Morphine last a little longer. Orally Diluadid is much more stronger because morphine has a problem getting out of the stomach lining and into your main stream. There are really only 3 I know that orally don't have that problem, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and meperdine. In respective order and the best known names..are Vicoden, percocet, or oxycontin, and Demerol. Morphine is one of the worst to take orally unless you are getting a high dose, 30mg is nothing, but IV, they don't even give that amount at once.

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. Oxycodone is an immediate release drug where Oxycontin is the same as Oxycodone but as a time release.

Its a pain killer. The hospitals give them to cancer patients or ill people.

That's not so true. I was on diloted when I had my scoliosis surgery. Just saying its for other thigs too.

Isn't scoliosis an illness?

To say that the hospital will not choose to use Diloted for anything else other than surgery related pain, or gallblader attacks, is FALSE. I suffer from migraines. Yes I know that would fall under the ILLNESS category, but just wanted to make it clear, that if the hospital chooses so, depending on your pain, they will administer Diloted due to it's extreme affectiveness at relieving the pain in a matter of minutes in some cases. My wife was also given Diloted in the ER for severe cramping. It's really up to the ER doctor as for what they choose to give you, but in most cases for severe pain, Diloted will be the medication they choose to administer.

Dilaudid is an opioid (synthetic). "The term opiate is properly limited to only the natural Alkaloidfound in the resin of the Opium_poppy" (Wikipedia)

• 
• 1 answer

Assuming what is meant is the narcotic synthetic opiod 'dilaudid' commonly known on the street by many other names, the drug stays in one's system an average of 72 hours before a urine test can be safely taken without traces of it in the system. The effects, however, of a single use of dilaudid, can diminish over a period of 6-12 hours before another dose is needed if taken for pain for example. The full information on dilaudid can be found in any Physician's Desk Reference which can be read in any library. Information is also available in many books on precription drugs sold in bookstores everywhere. Usually pharmacies will answer general questions on drugs and their interactions as well. Also sites on the Internet that inform on addiction would have extensive knowledge on dilaudid as part of the synthetic opiate family and as one preferred by junkies who take dilaudid when heroin is not available or who have switched to dilaudid because it is a 'cleaner' drug and the dosage can be monitored more easily. Hope this helps somewhat..generally though, to get dilaudid out of the system sooner is difficult, but if one drinks a lot of water, the system can be flushed of toxins a little quicker. 72 hours is a guideline only..many variables such as metabolism, etc., play into matters, but it is a central nervous system water soluable drug, excreted primarily through urine. AS mentioned the Physicians Desk Reference or each country's equivilent of same (I am giving Canadian names) is an invaluable asset when researching drugs and how long they stay in system, side effects, adverse reactions, contraindications, etc., etc.

It's a hydrocodone pill, usually 5mg Hydrocodone and 325mg acetaminophen. Generic vicodin.

Why 'usually'? It is always 5mg Hydrocodone and 325mg acetaminophen :)

Demerol and Oxycodone are both shcedule II Drugs, but there is a difference in strength between the two. Demerol is usually used as a post operative pain medication while the patient is in the hospital, and it is also used when someone returns home after a serious operation. You have to keep in mind that even though there are so many pain medications avilable for a Dr. to prescribe, specific medications work better on certain conditions better than others.

Oxycodone is a more commonly used medication by Dr's. It is used for moderate to severe pain. For example, it may be used after having your wisdom teeth removed, or if you break a bone or hurt your back, ect..

An opiate for severe pain would either be OxyContin, Dilaudid or Opana but, most likely the last two since OxyContin has a huge stigma around it.

Dilaudid would be stronger. It is approximately 5-7 times more potent than morphine per milligram. Oxycodone is 1.5-2x more potent than oral morphine but not as potent as IM/IV morphine.
