Key takeaways
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) and oxycodone (Roxicodone, Oxycontin) are prescription opioids. They’re prescribed to treat pain that isn't relieved by non-opioid pain medications. Both hydromorphone and oxycodone can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and constipation. More seriously, both are controlled substances that can cause dependence, misuse, and overdose. That’s why it’s best to carry naloxone (Narcan) with you at all times if you take hydromorphone or oxycodone. If needed, this can rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
