Hello Linda Kaye Boykin,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am sorry to know of your husband's condition and appreciate your concern for him.
The usual starting dose for DILAUDID tablets is 2 mg to 4 mg, orally, every 4 to 6 hours. Appropriate use of the DILAUDID TABLETS must be decided by careful evaluation of each clinical situation.
Don't worry, the healthcare workers are trying to make your husband's life as comfortable and pain free as possible. They would also be considering the interaction between the medicines he is on.
Best wishes,
