Dihydrocodeine 30mg

Description

Dihydrocodeine is a potent painkiller that is often prescribed when other pain relief medications, such as ibuprofen, paracetamol, or codeine, are ineffective. It is commonly combined with paracetamol in a formulation known as co-dydramol. Dihydrocodeine is available under brand names like DHC Continus and DF118 Forte. This opiate analgesic works by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain, providing relief from moderate to severe pain. While effective, there is a risk of addiction, and your doctor can provide guidance on minimizing this risk. Both adults and children can use dihydrocodeine tablets.
