What is Dihydrocodeine?
dihydrocodeine is a form of pain relief for moderate to severe pain. It may be prescribed when milder painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol prove to be ineffective.
Dihydrocodein can be prescribed to help treat pain associated with conditions such as sciatica (nerve pain in the back or legs), joint and bone pain (such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis), nerve pain, pain caused by blood vessel disease, cancer or following operations.
The active ingredient is Dihydrocodein Tartrate – each tablet is available in one strength of 30mg. Medicines under the name Remedeine, Paramol and Co-dydramol all contain dihydrocodein with paracetamol.
How does Dihydrocodeine work? | dihydrocodeine 30mg
Dihydrocodein belongs to a medication group called opioid analgesics, which includes medications such as codeine phosphate and co-codamol, often sold under the brand name Solpadol.
Opioids work by mimicking the natural pain-reducing compounds in the body known as endorphins which are produced in the brain and the spinal cord to help us feel less pain.
Dihydrocodeine 30mg works on these same opioid receptors to stop pain signals from being sent to the brain via the nervous system, so while the root cause of the pain is not treated, the user feels less pain.
Dihydrocodeine 30mg is related to and has a similar chemical structure to codeine – in fact, it may be used as an alternative to codeine or the aforementioned conditions. However, dihydrocodeine is twice as strong as codeine. It has a more euphoric effect and therefore a greater dependence potential.
How to use Dihydrocodeine | dihydrocodeine 30mg
Dihydro codeine should be taken with water, with or without food, as instructed by your GP. Adults should take one tablet every four to six hours (maximum dose in a 24-hour period is six tablets).
The dose should be reduced for elderly patients and anyone who suffers from liver or kidney problems. Children under 12 years are not advised to use this medication. Your doctor will prescribe the correct dose for you.
If you miss a dose, take a tablet as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, don’t take the missed dose and never double the dose to make up for your missed tablet. Do not stop taking dihydrocodeine without speaking to your GP first.
