Saddlesore,
I think you would need to get a vial from an MD (my Anesthesia Dept. uses it alot as an immediate post operative pain reliever, and it's impressive). As SubDoc said, it's perscription only. Good point on the kidney function, also! A kidney stone must be a crusher if Dilaudid won't do it alone. When my disk herniated back in '04 (cervicle), I got a shot of Dilaudid in the ER, and lights out!
