Dilaudid

Administering a combination of 100 mg of Fentanyl, 1 mg of Dilaudid (hydromorphone), and 30 mg of nitrazepam in an elderly patient poses a significant risk of severe respiratory depression, sedation, and potential overdose. The elderly are more sensitive to the effects of these medications due to age-related physiological changes and potential comorbidities. This combination can lead to life-threatening complications, including decreased consciousness and impaired respiratory function, necessitating immediate medical attention. It is crucial to approach such potent opioids and benzodiazepines with caution, particularly in vulnerable populations.

oxymorphone is the drug name for Opana. Dilaudid is hydromorphone.

The time it takes to become addicted to Dilaudid (hydromorphone) can vary significantly between individuals, depending on factors such as frequency of use, dosage, personal history of substance use, and genetic predispositions. Some individuals may develop a dependency within just a few weeks of regular use, while others may take longer. It's important to note that even short-term use can lead to addiction, especially if the medication is not used as prescribed. Seeking medical guidance can help manage risks associated with opioid use.

Oxycontin contains 30mg of oxycodone, which is the active drug present. Oxycontin is time released, so the medicine is slowly released over an extended period of time.

Also, oxycodone usually isn't sold as just "oxycodone." You might be referring to the drug "roxicodone" which has 30mg of oxycodone in it, except this drug is instant release instead of continuous release.

The drug "Percocet" also contains oxycodone in it as well as acetaminophen (Tylenol)

However, I'm not sure if Oxycontin comes in 30mg. There are OC 10's, OC 20's, OC 40's, OC 80's, and there used to be OC 160's but i believe they discontinued those due to the increased likelihood of overdose

A single dose of 2 mg Dilaudid (hydromorphone) can typically be detected in urine for about 3 to 4 days after administration, although this can vary based on factors like metabolism, frequency of use, and hydration levels. In blood tests, it may be detectable for a shorter duration, usually up to 24 hours. Hair follicle tests can detect hydromorphone for much longer, potentially up to 90 days. Always consult with a healthcare professional for specific concerns regarding drug testing.

Dilaudid, which is a brand name for hydromorphone, will not directly affect a standard blood alcohol test, as these tests specifically measure the concentration of ethanol in the blood. However, taking hydromorphone can impair judgment and coordination, similar to alcohol, which may influence overall test results regarding impairment. Additionally, combining the two substances can increase the risk of respiratory depression and other dangerous side effects. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding medications and alcohol use.

I copy/pasted the link below so that you can read more about oxycodone,aka roxicodone........Oxycodone is 14-hydroxydihydrocodeinone, a white odorless crystalline powder which is derived from the opium alkaloid, the-baine, and may be represented by the following structural formula: http://www.rxlist.com/roxicodone-drug.htm

80 mg Oxycontin is by far stronger than 10mg of vicodin(hydrocodone). I am not sure the exact times stronger but I had almost like a foot reconstruction surgery and took 10/650 vicodin and the 650 is 650mg of Tylenol and it barely touched the pain and then was given a 80mg of Oxycontin and it took away my pain for about 4-5 hours, but the point is 80 mg of Oxycontin is way stronger than 10mg of vicodin.
