Right Big- some countries in Europe can get Jurnista, the ER form of HM. I have not heard about a 10 mg. strength for the US market, yet.
Thanks for reviving an older but still interesting thread, Big- I've always been an advocate for hydromorphone in the opioid arena- so clean
with very few post-use metabolites that can stay in your system for a long period, like some other common opio's. Too bad HM loses so much power
orally, huh? and that so many ppl are not fond of the 'point.' I've been scripted the stuff off and on (mostly on) for over 5 years. I use it mostly
for BT pain episodes and try to have an empty stomach. My label allows an 8 every 4 hours- so 6/day- which I generally can stick to. I know about
the other methods and concur with what you guys have said above. I guess most of us here are too young to have gone through the Knoll days
and when HM was actually provided in what guys called "cold shakers." I believe some of the earliest dilaudid formulations were
actually
intended for injection use by the manufacturer, but maybe one of the dilly historians here could confirm that. But the new pills from Mallie,
etc. are definitely not engineered for this method of use.
Still, an awesome opiate in many ways--!
