Hydrocodone is Vicodin with Tylenol. Hydromorphone (aka Dilaudid) is straight Hydromorphone. No Tylenol or any other OTC meds mixed in. Obviously, Hydromorphone is much stronger. It is said that it is stronger than Oxycontin.

Does hydrocodone metabolize to hydromorphine? No. Hydrocodone is metabolized to hydromorphone, norhydromorphone, norhydrocodone, dihydromorphine, nordihydromorphine, dihydrocodeine, and nordihydrocodeine. If you meant hydromorphine then yes. I believe it is possible for as much as 30% of hydrocodone to be metabolized to hydromorphone, but usually is much less.

What is difference in Hydrocodone and Hydromorphon?
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) is much more potent than hydrocodone (Vicodin). Potency wise, hydromorphone is roughly 7-8 times stronger than hydrocodone when administered IV, and almost as much stronger when taken orally. Hydromorphone comes in short acting preparations (Dilaudid) only. For a brief time there was a long acting preparation on the market that was pulled back when it was learned that, when taken with alcohol, the long-acting mechanism broke down causing all the med to be released into the bloodstream at once. In some cases the results were fatal.
