📋Overview
Hydromorphone is a potent opioid medication primarily used for the management of moderate to severe pain. It works by affecting the central nervous system to alter the perception and response to pain. Hydromorphone is often associated with conditions that involve significant pain, such as after surgery or in certain chronic illnesses. Due to its strength, it is typically reserved for situations where other pain relievers may not be effective.
