Dihydrocodeine tablets are primarily used for the relief of moderate to severe pain. They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, reducing the perception of pain. Additionally, they may be prescribed for the treatment of severe coughs or as part of a palliative care regimen. However, due to their potential for dependence and side effects, they are typically used under strict medical supervision.
Dihydrocodeine 30mg and DF118 (which contains dihydrocodeine and paracetamol) can be differentiated by their composition and packaging. Dihydrocodeine is a single active ingredient medication, while DF118 combines dihydrocodeine with paracetamol, typically resulting in a different intended use for pain management. Additionally, the tablets may vary in appearance, such as color or imprint, which can help identify them. Always consult a pharmacist or healthcare provider for accurate identification and information.
Codeine phosphate is a weaker opioid compared to dihydrocodeine, meaning dihydrocodeine is more potent. Both are used for pain relief, but dihydrocodeine is typically prescribed for moderate to severe pain, while codeine phosphate is often used for milder pain or as a cough suppressant.

No, codydromol and paramol are not the same. Codydromol is a brand name for a medication containing codeine and dihydrocodeine. Paramol, on the other hand, is a brand name for a combination of dihydrocodeine and paracetamol. Both medications contain dihydrocodeine, but differ in their other active ingredients.
