Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Yes there is a major drug interaction found between Dilaudid (hydromorphone) and lorazepam.as well as a moderate interaction between Dilaudid and halicon..

So if taken together the sedative effect can be severe and in extreme cases can become life threatening..

So it is advisable to consult your Physician and get a proper examination done..
Take the medication as per advised only..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
