Dilaudid pills
€250.00 – €900.00
Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) is a powerful opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It belongs to the opioid analgesic class and works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering how the body perceives and responds to pain.
Dilaudid is significantly stronger than morphine—approximately 4 to 5 times more potent—and is typically prescribed for severe pain that does not respond to weaker opioids.

How Dilaudid Works

It also causes sedation, euphoria, and respiratory depression, making it effective but highly addictive.
