Hello,

When Dilaudid is taken orally in pill or liquid form, it begins to work quickly, often in about 15 minutes, and usually reaches its peak effect in 30 minutes to an hour.

The elimination half-life of oral Dilaudid is about four hours.

The drug is detected in the blood for about 24 hours,
in the urine for two to three days,
in the saliva for two to three days, and
in the hair for about six months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
