Hydromorphone
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
Potent opioid painkiller that is a derivative of morphine.
Hydromorphone's abuse potential comes from the fact that its euphoric intravenous rush is very similar to heroin's. Hydromorphone is one of the most prescribed opioids in the relief of pain for the terminally ill due to its minimal side effects and high potency.
