What Is In A Delotta Pill

I take oxicodone 10mg for a bad back & they just don't seam to work that well. I was told delotta is better & less sight effects. Is this true & if so, what mg of delotta should I take to be equal to OR BETTER THAN the 10mg oxicodone I'm taking now?? ## The name if this medication is often misunderstood, it's actually called Dilaudid and the active ingredient is Hydromorphone. And it is a very potent narcotic that like any other will require a doctor's prescription. However, it is slightly stronger than the Oxycodone and you'd only require 3.75mgs of it for each 10mgs of the Oxycodone. Learn more Dilaudid details here. The part about their being less side effects is not true, though, it can cause the same side effects as Oxycodone, how many you experience...

How is this pain medication used for pancreatic cancer? ## I'm on Oxycodone liquid and 30 mg morphine now. This is my 3 cancer treatment. I do chemo and radiation but this pain medication is not doing me good. Do i need to ask my doctor to switch to Dilaudid? ## The correct medication name is actually Dilaudid, which may be why some where having difficulty finding information on it. It is a narcotic analgesic that contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which means it may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and constipation. In regards to cancer, it is just used to relieve pain. Johnny1, what did you end up doing? Did you find something to help? ## I have a script of dilaudid 4mg and have a hard time finding it.

what is the diffrence between delotta and moraphine. This question is because my dad has been given moraphine for pain and the reaction was delerious. When given delotta he seems okay ## The difference is the actual narcotic ingredient, Morphine is just that, but Dilaudid contains a different narcotic, which is Hydromorphone, so they are related, but not the same. It is normal for some people to react badly to one, but not another, it just really depends on your body chemistry and metabolism. Some people can use any of them without a problem and some react badly to all of them. These are narcotics, so they can cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

Delotta side effects: had a test last month with the camera up your butt. Have not been able to go the the bathroom. Went to the hospital very very blotted, they gave me another Delotta, after the test my bowles cut loose. Thought every thing would be better. It got worse, now I look like I am four mo. pregnant, still cant go to the bathroom. Yes, I have eaten fiber, drink everything the pharm. advized, Philips Mag, exlax. ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is an opiate narcotic and it may cause some constipation, but it should not be continuing for that long after taking it. Learn more Dilaudid details here. It sounds like you may have developed a possible serious medical condition, such as paralytic ileus. What other medications have you taken? Did they gi...

ive been takeing delotta for about a week and i cant pee unless i rub my clit what should i do? ## How much fluid are you drinking in a day? When you do urinate, is it the usual volume that's normal for you, or has it increased or decreased? This can be a rare side effect of narcotics in some people, so you should stop taking and seek medical attention. Learn more Dilaudid details here.

already took 2 darvasets can i take a delotta in extreme pain just had foot surgery ## Mixing them is not recommended, since they both contain Narcotics. Darvocet is a pretty mild narcotic, containing Propoxyphen and Acetaminophen. The Dilaudid is much stronger and contains Hydromorphone. However, if you mix them, you run the risk of worsening side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation. You could also inadvertently cause yourself to overdose. Have you tried contacting your doctor or pharmacist for a recommendation?

pancreatis cancer is why they prescrib it can'find no one to fill it ## Do you have any type of prescription insurance? If so, then the best advice I can give you is to contact your insurance company and ask if they have a mail order pharmacy that they recommend that accepts your coverage. This is the only way that many people have been able to get prescriptions for these types of narcotics filled recently. Learn more Dilaudid details here.

Idk what to do. He has issues, so things easily get out of hand.. But will he just passout and sleep it off? Hes sleeping now but he said he could go into a coma. Idk if he just said it to say it or he meant it. Just worried and wouls like some help ## You need to call 911. Diludid (sp?) is the strongest pain med. I've ever had--that causes you to feel like Mario in the clouds video game when it first hits. He overdosed & could die. ## Actually one of the first warnings/precautions listed on the Dilaudid drug monograph clearly states NOT to have it with alcohol, for it can increase the risk of dangerous side effects; including overdose-related symptoms (such as going into a coma).

wHAT WOULD BE WORSE CASE SIDE EFFECTS FROM accidential wrong dose in IV?

wondering how long in your system if you have diabetes, low testerone, and hippsey ## Hi Alice, I think you may be referring to Dilaudid. The name is often misunderstood because of how it's pronounced, but it contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone; which is a pretty potent narcotic. The average estimated time frame that Dilaudid can remain detectable in your urine is anywhere from 2 to 4 days. I don't know what effect diabetes may be having on your metabolic process, however low hormone levels could also be playing a role in how long it takes your body to effectively eliminate certain substances. I hope this info helps to answer your question!

My sister gave me a half of one of these - an oblong white pill with an imprint of IP 118 for the pain I was having before seeing a really good doctor. I went to see my Doctor today and she said my drug test came back and it had Oxycodone in it, and also Delotta? I have never taken a delotta in my life!! I did take a little xanax that looked like a footbal with the half of Vicodin, and 2 0.5 mg. Clonazapem with 3 50 mg. Tramadol. Would all of these together create a print out from a lab saying that I had Oxycodone and Delotta in my system, because I didn't take any!!! Does Anybody Know?? ## Vicodin contains Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone and Dilaudid contains Hydromorphone. And no, none of these will register as Oxycodone, when a precise test is done to check for the specific medicat...
