Drug Info for hydromorphone hcl er

Hydromorphone immediate-release tablets and oral solution are used as a short-term treatment to relieve severe pain (pain that begins suddenly, has a specific cause, and is expected to go away when the cause of the pain is healed) in people who are expected to need an opioid pain medication and whose pain cannot be controlled by the use of alternative pain medications. Hydromorphone extended-release tablets are used to relieve severe and persistent pain in people who are expected to need pain medication around the clock for a long time and who cannot be treated with other medications. Hydromorphone extended-release tablets should only be used to treat people who are tolerant (used to the effects of the medication) to opioid medications because they have taken this type of medication for at least one week and should not be used to treat mild or moderate pain, short-term pain, pain after an operation or medical or dental procedure, or pain that can be controlled by medication that is taken as needed. Hydromorphone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics. It works by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain.

Exalgo is used to treat serious pain. The generic version of Exalgo is Hydromorphone. The average Exalgo price is expensive, at an average of $496 for a supply of 30, 8 mg tablets, extended-release. However, you can use our free OptionRx coupon card to save significantly on Exalgo prices at a participating pharmacy near you.
