Hydromorphone 8mg is a synthetic opioid that is commonly used in combination with acetaminophen to control moderate to severe pain. Historically, Dilaudid 8mg pills has been used as a cough suppressant although this has largely been replaced by dextromethorphan in current cough and cold formulations. 8mg of Dilaudid more potent metabolite, hydromorphone has also found wide use as an analgesic and is frequently used in cases of severe pain. The FDA first approved Dilaudid 8mg capsules for use as part of the cough suppressant syrup.
