About
Dilaudid, also known as Hydromorphone, is a powerful opioid medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is often prescribed after surgery or for chronic pain management. However, the high demand for this medication has led to its generic version being available in the market.
Generic medications are copies of brand-name drugs that have the same active ingredients, dosage, strength, route of administration, and intended use. The main difference between brand-name and generic drugs is that generic drugs are usually much cheaper.
In recent times, there has been a growing trend of people opting for generic medications over brand-name drugs. This is because they are more affordable and offer the same therapeutic benefits as their brand-name counterparts. Dilaudid generic is no exception to this trend.
