In order to be equivalent to your current dosage of Oxycodone, you would need 67.5mgs of the Hydromorphone.

The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Did your doctor suggest this change?

Matthew,

Yes, hydromorphone is Dilaudid while oxymorphone is better known under the brand name Opana.Both are very potent opiods that carry a potential for dependence of the morphine type.As such they are classified as a schedule II
Narcotic under the controlled dangerous substance act.

Matthew,

Most patients find oral hydromorphone to be far less effective then the oral equivelent of oxycodone. Parental hydromorphone is extreamly effective but produces rapid tollerance .Everyone responds differently but most patients respond better to oral oxycodone as opposed to oral hydromorphone.
