Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

If the ms contin is not working well for you then you and your doctor can consider switching you to another agent.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is used to treat moderate to severe pain and may work for you.

It would be best to consult your doctors before making any changing with the medications.

I hope this helps
