About
Dilaudid is a potent prescription medication used to treat severe pain. It belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics, which work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain.
Dilaudid is commonly prescribed for patients who require around-the-clock pain relief and cannot be managed with other medications. It is important to note that Dilaudid should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider, as misuse or abuse of this medication can lead to serious side effects and addiction.
