Medicine type
Opioid pain medicine
Official uses from the US prescribing label

Hydromorphone hydrochloride tablets are indicated for the management of pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate.

Limitations of Use

Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, misuse, overdose, and death, which can occur at any dosage or duration and persist over the course of therapy, reserve opioid analgesics, including hydromorphone hydrochloride tablets, for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of pain.

From the FDA-approved label on DailyMed (published Aug 26, 2026).

Doctors sometimes prescribe a medicine for other reasons too. If you are not sure what yours is for, ask your pharmacist.
