Brief Answer:
Yes, you can!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this shortage in your drugs. Yes, dilaudio can be used for a short time. There is no reason to nurse any fears as long as this helps in controlling your pain. However, get your refills as soon as possible as switching medications is not always advised.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

You need to reread my question. I know that the dilaudid is safe as that is what I have been taking. My question was in the absence of my dilaudid can I take some OXYCONTIN 40mg. that I have while I am wearing the Fentanyl patch75.?
