Dilaudid half-life: Plasma half life is 2.5 h (half that of morphine). It takes approximately 6 half lives for a drug to be eliminated from your system. 2.5*6/24= 0.625 day. The Dilaudid will stay in your system for about 12 hours.

4-6 hours: The average length of time that dialudid acts in the body is 4-6 hours, although some patients get pain relief for up to 8 hours.
