Information

Hydromorphone, marketed under brand names including Palladone and Dilaudid, is a very potent opioid analgesic. The drug is often used medicinally as an alternative to morphine for treatment of pain or as a cough suppressant for painful coughing resulting from continued bronchial irritation. Hydromorphone presence indicates use or exposure or metabolization of parent drugs. Excreted in urine at up to 2.5% of morphine concentration. Minor amounts may be present in urine specimens with a high concentration of codeine and should not be interpreted as hydromorphone use in that case.
