A member asked:
What're the effects of hydromorphone with morphine for pain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They are similar: Both work in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves to decrease transmission of pain signals. Neither will eliminate pain signals however. They also work deep in the limbic system to decrease the amount of suffering or misery that is associated with pain.
