Hi , all,

Karyn had this same problem (pill form of dilaudid not being

effective), and when she mentioned it to her doctor (internist), she

mentioned that her body probably wasn't able to absorb the medicine

in pill form very efficiently, and so prescribed it for her in LIQUID

form. Took the local pharmacy a while to locate a source for it and

order it, but it seems to work well for Karyn in liquid form when she

needs it.

Thankyou for that,

I shall mention it to my doctor next time I see her or have a need

for it. So far so good though.

For me,Dilaudid only works for me (pill or IV) if I am given fentanyl

(patch or IV) at the same time. Somehow the combination works better for

me than either of them alone. But then, my body has been known to have

weird reactions to medications.
