Dilaudid Liquid

Pronunciation: HYE-droe-MOR-fone
Generic Name: Hydromorphone
Brand Name: Dilaudid

Dilaudid Liquid is used for:

Treating pain in certain patients.

Dilaudid Liquid is an opioid (narcotic) analgesic. It works by binding to certain receptors in the brain and nervous system to reduce pain.

Do NOT use Dilaudid Liquid if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Dilaudid Liquid or any other codeine- or morphine-related medicine (eg, morphine, codeine, oxycodone)


• you have difficult or slowed breathing, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or right-sided heart problems (cor pulmonale), or you are having a severe asthma attack


• you are in labor


• you have severe diarrhea or other bowel problems caused by antibiotics or poisoning


• you have a brain injury or growths in the brain along with increased pressure in the brain


• you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Dilaudid Liquid:

Some medical conditions may interact with Dilaudid Liquid. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have a history of lung or breathing problems (eg, asthma, emphysema, bronchitis), seizures (eg, epilepsy), adrenal gland problems, an enlarged prostate, heart problems, low blood pressure, dehydration, low blood volume, an underactive thyroid, or urinary blockage


• if you have severe drowsiness, a recent head injury, spinal problems, growths in the brain, or increased pressure in the brain


• if you have liver or kidney problems, gallbladder problems, or stomach or bowel problems (eg, inflammation), or if you have had recent stomach or bowel surgery


• if you drink alcohol regularly, have symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, or have a history of suicidal thoughts or attempts


• if you have a personal or family history of mental or mood problems, alcohol abuse, or other substance abuse or dependence


• if you are in poor health or shock, or will be having surgery

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Dilaudid Liquid. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine) because the risk of low blood pressure may be increased


• Barbiturate anesthetics (eg, thiopental), cimetidine, or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of severe drowsiness, coma, or slowed or difficult breathing may be increased


• Agonist/antagonist analgesics (eg, pentazocine) or naltrexone because they may decrease Dilaudid Liquid's effectiveness and withdrawal may occur

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Dilaudid Liquid may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Dilaudid Liquid:

Use Dilaudid Liquid as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• Dilaudid Liquid may be taken with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.


• Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist for help if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.


• If you are taking Dilaudid Liquid for persistent pain, take it on a regular schedule to help control the pain more effectively.


• Do not change your dose or suddenly stop taking Dilaudid Liquid without checking with your doctor.


• If Dilaudid Liquid is no longer needed, dispose of it as soon as possible. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to dispose of Dilaudid Liquid properly.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Dilaudid Liquid.

Important safety information:

• Dilaudid Liquid may cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, or lightheadedness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol, other opiate pain medicines, or certain other medicines. Use Dilaudid Liquid with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.


• Do not drink alcohol or use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you take Dilaudid Liquid; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.


• Dilaudid Liquid may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.


• Dilaudid Liquid may be habit-forming. Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor. Misuse or abuse of Dilaudid Liquid may cause severe side effects, including severe breathing problems, seizures, coma, and possibly death.

Some people who use Dilaudid Liquid for a long time may develop a need to continue taking it. People who take high doses are also at risk. This is known as DEPENDENCE or addiction. Dependence is unlikely to be an issue in terminally ill patients where comfort is more important.
