This is a combination of a narcotic anagesic containing 15 mg of dihydrocodeine, 325 mg of acetaminophen (APAP) and 50 mg of caffeine. Dyhydrocodeine is about one to two times more potent as Codeine, but it is not as potent as Hydrocodone.
A typical does of 30 mg of dihydrocodeine is about equal to 45-60 mg of Codeine.
Duhydrocodeine is both a Schedule II controlled substance by itself and a Schedule III controlled substance when compounded with APAP or Asprin (ASA).
It is rarely used in America and for reasons unbeknown; nonetheless it's low abuse potential allows it to be sold OTC in Europe as an anagesic in strengths of 7.49 mg dihydrocodeine compounded with 500 mg of APAP.
US LAW: If sold in the US this would be a Schedule III Controlled Substance
It is also available by prescription in a single 60 mg time released formular and in this case subjected to Schedule II of the US Controlled Substance Act

i believe you may be wrong about the potency of dihydrocodeine to codeine for the fact that the liver converts codeine to morphine. whereas the liver converts dihydrocodeine to dihydromorphine approximately 10 times more potent than morhine and has a slightly longer half life of around 6-8 hours dependant on dosing
