Hydromorphone

Hydromorphone (Dilaudid®) is marketed in tablets
(2, 4, and 8 mg), suppositories, oral solutions, and
injectable formulations. All products are in Schedule
II of the CSA. Its analgesic potency is from two to
eight times that of morphine, but it is shorter acting
and produces more sedation than morphine.

Much sought after by narcotic addicts,
hydromorphone is usually obtained by the abuser
through fraudulent prescriptions or theft. The tablets
are often dissolved and injected as a substitute for
heroin.

Oxycodone

All oxycodone products are in Schedule II.
Oxycodone is abused orally, or the tablets are
crushed and sniffed or dissolved in water and
injected.

The use of oxycodone has increased significantly. In
1993, about 3.5 tons of oxycodone were
manufactured for sale in the United States. In 2003,
about 41 tons were manufactured.

Abusers have learned that this slow-release
mechanism can be easily circumvented by crushing
the tablet and swallowing, snorting, or injecting the
drug product for a more rapid and intense high.

The criminal activity associated with illicitly obtaining
and distributing this drug, as well as serious
consequences of illicit use, including addiction and
fatal overdose deaths, are of epidemic proportions in
some areas of the United States.
