You beat me to it Zippy, I was going to say that sounds a bit like Pethadine

Is it Dilaudid? Which is Hydromorphone here...Palladone.

[cariad]

yes. dilaudid is technically,,,,hydromorphone hydrochloride.
very addicting......cant say how it feels as I have only given it. but some patients love 'the rush' that it gives them,,,,,,enough said.

I just found out that dihydrocodeinone (df118) is called Vicodin in the US,

(if everyone else knew, sorry, but I was watching 'house' and curiosity got the better of me.

Do you use Tramadol in the US, it's something that we are using more and more here.

Horrid side effects though, hallucinations (I saw green frogs leaping around the ward )

Does anybody else remember the "pethadine Queens" that used to present at A&E many moons ago - then you would get the old dears presenting with renal failure who had been on DGs QDS for 30 years, but when asked where their pain was would flounder! Did / do they have distalgesic in the US?

Distelgesics are co-proximol aren't they

[sharrie]

Just did a bit of a search and found this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propoxyphene

which I think is Co-proximol

Darvocet-N would be coproxamol as it is combined with paracetamol
