What is the dosage of codiene in dehydracodiene?

Dehydrocodeine is an opioid analgesic that is a prodrug of codeine. Upon metabolism, dehydrocodeine is converted into codeine, but the exact dosage of codeine derived from dehydrocodeine can vary based on individual metabolism. Typically, dehydrocodeine is prescribed in doses ranging from 30 mg to 60 mg, which can produce effects similar to those of codeine, but the specific amount of codeine produced from this conversion is not standardized. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate dosing and personalized medical advice.


Are morphine and codeine the same?

No, morphine and codeine are not the same, although they are both opioids derived from opium. Morphine is a stronger pain reliever primarily used for severe pain, while codeine is generally used for milder pain and cough suppression. They differ in their potency, mechanisms of action, and potential side effects. Additionally, codeine is often metabolized into morphine in the body, but the two drugs have distinct clinical applications.
