Hydromorphone is used to relieve moderate to severe pain and severe, painful dry coughing.
Inactive Ingredients:
- Lactose Monohydrate
- Magnesium Stearate
- Cellulose, Microcrystalline
- Stearic Acid
Ref: DailyMed
Due to the number of possible side effects, safety of administration and high potential for dependence/abuse, It definitely is not recommended; but based on my research it can be done. I personally don't support this idea, but as long as you understand the risks associated with this method of administration.

Addiction is rare for chronic pain patients taking narcotics. Nora Valkow is an addiction specialist and states it to be around 2%. People take it safely without needing an increase
Re: Pammysue (# 4)
Addiction is very high among chronic pain paitients. I am one with debilitating fibromyalgia. Many people start off with prescription medication and end up turning to herion. I did. Only when I was in extreme pain or my meds were being stolen. I don't even like the herion effects. I hate it!!! And I don't get high off my 15 mgs 4 x a day of roxicidone and still in severe pain...I'm just trying to find pain relief.

No it isn’t! According to Nora Volkow, head of the National Institute of Drug Abuse, the risk is 1%! Facts matter so don’t project
