Dihydrocodeine Forums

My Boots pharmacy can no longer get Dihydrocodeine fast and slow acting. Is it available at other pharmacies in Nottingham? I've had to switch to Tramadol long and short acting but the side effects of headaches are exhausting. I'm on day 48 of my current headache. Dihydrocodeine was really good for me. I was able to work and drive with no problems. I have several health conditions that make alternative tablets difficult to take.

I work away from home and find making an appt. with my GP hard. So my sciatica flared up and I filled my dihydrocodeine prescription from a proper reputable site - with a uk licensed GP and pharmacy who prescribed and dispensed it. They are unmarked pills - packaging says Bristol Laboratory. I feel they're not as effected as the ones I had been prescribed last year. I don't know if it's psychological or the pills really are not what they are meant to be. As said it's a proper GP site - they prescribe them. ## Same!!! I've just noticed that mine don't work. Obviously a bad manufacturer. ## I'm looking for a GP to prescribe Dihydrocodiene and need this med for Arthritis. Can someone let me know where to go? I'm struggling. It's much more difficult or ou...

Anyone know what this is? There are three other threads about them on here but no-one seems to reply. ## Hello, Daisy! How are you? The reason there hasn't been any response is because no identification has been found for these tablets, yet. I've searched quite a few times, but from what I can tell, they aren't available in the U.S., just in the U.K. and I can't find anything listing what they contain. However, I will keep looking and post back, when I have information. Does anyone else know what these are? ## These are dihydracodeine. ## It is dihydrocodine 30mg, found it in the boots website. Only in UK ## Can you send a link to the boots page ? ## 30mg dihydrocodeine ## Can you send a link to what they are exactly?

I always have Almas or Actavis as a brand. They've given me Bristol laboratories this time. Is there any difference or is it just the brand? I worry cause I suffer with crohn's very badly. ## Hello, Tara! How are you? It's the same medication, just manufactured by a different company. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you ! I was just worried I always use the brand you use so I was worried. Nice to know someone out there helps when needed ## They are a bad excuse for Dihydrocodeine . They don't even work for me love . ## l usually have Dihydrocodeine with Actav...

I get dfs as part of treatment for internal problems, (i.e. cd, I get prescribed 30mg white, some tablets have C D H and others E54 I think, but just lately I have been receiving different markings C D A). The bottom line is have I got a cause for worry, as they are now being picked up by a friend and are now in a bottle? Any advice or info would be great. Thanks for your time. ## I recently received dfs from M & A Pharmachem. They're a round white scored pill. Have any of u had them before? If so, are they ok?

There is a white pill with G on one side and DH30 on the other side. Half of this pill made me to have a deep good sleep, but now I can't find it. Can anyone identify it? ## Hello Omid, Was the prescription for this medication filled in the UK? The reason I ask is I was able to find a small bit of information on a 30 mg dihydrocodeine tablet that matches your description. Below is the additional information I found on this medication. Imprint: DH30;G. Color: White Shape: Round PIP Code: 109-2600 EAN Code 560076 Manufacturer: Generics (UK) I hope this information helps. Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know regarding this pill.

I have a friend, admittedly is a recovered opiate addict (20 plus yrs clean) who has arthritis, cancer, spinal injuries and has been prescribed df's for five plus yrs. Some gp in surgery won't honour his repeat prescripton.......saying that they have been discontinued! Whilst others in the same surgery say otherwise and give him his much needed prescription. All I can find on the net is that certain brands (activists being one) has ceased to manufacture. Any info will be great. Thanks.

Hi. I have a white round pill with an "R" on front and on the other side "DH" and a line; and underneath the line is "30". Can you please help identify it? ## From what I've been able to find, this tablet is from the UK and contains 30mgs of Dihydrocodeine, which is a narcotic pain reliever. The NIH warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

I was in unbearable pain with arthritis, my gp will not give me anything that works. I know it was wrong, but I ordered Dihydrocodeine over the internet illegally, and I found that after an hour of absolute agony I am so relieved, and so happy. I have a very addictive personality but I need an alternative to stop the actual pain and probably help me to reduce, because I am surely addicted to them by now. However I would be going back to a none life existence, I will be heartbroken when I cannot lift my grandchildren. So I am thinking what if I had them just at weekends, a lot of willpower is needed, but the alternative of non-stop hell without a break is a NO,NO, not now I have found I do not have to wake in agony everyday, life is too short, I am almost 60 now. Does anyone have any adv...

Can you extract the codeine by using cold water extraction from dihydrocodeine ## No you cannot, you will be extracting Dihydrocodeine again, and why, Dihydrocodeine is relatively stronger with no ceiling effect meaning once you take so much codeine, the liver will not process any more. Dihydrocodeine has no ceiling effect

## What are the available milligrams of dihydrocodeine? ## They come in 30mg, 60mg and 120mg. I don't know if they get any stronger than that. ## 30mg I find works better for myself as I am sure the stronger they get they become time-released, coated, and don't have the same all around efficacy. ## This is a narcotic and will carry the same risk of addition and side effects as other narcotics. Side effects may include:nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Are there any other questions? ## I'm taking 30mg of dihydrocodeine as prescribed, but when I take the 30mg I get stomach aches. I have been told that there's more chalk in the 30mg than the 60mg of dihydrocodeine tablets. Is this true? ## For your stomach cramps 'rabeprazole' would sort it out superbl...

The pill is white and round. The imprint is on one side. "CO, and a imprinted line through the middle with DYD on the bottom of the line. The other side is blank. Its outside diameter is about 3/8". ## The white round pill you're describing is identified as Co-Dydramol, containing: Dihydrocodeine (10mg) + Acetaminophen (500mg) Manufacturer: M & A Pharmachem, UK Not to be confused with Hydrocodone or Codeine, Dihydrocodeine is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic prescribed for pain, severe dyspnea, or as an antitussive, either alone or compounded with aspirin or Acetaminophen, as in Co-dydramol.

Is there any side effects for this df118? ## Hello, Melinda! How are you? All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, even over the counter products. This tablet contains Dihydrocodeine, which is a narcotic opiate. It has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Learn more DF 118 details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

does anyone know where i can pain tablets df118 30mg or remedeine forte dihydrocodeine ## I'm not fully understanding your question due to a couple grammatical errors in your description (i.e. - "know where I can pain tablets"). However I would still like to offer more information if that helps: DF 118 forte tablets contain the active ingredient dihydrocodeine, which is indicated for use in the management of moderate to moderately severe pain as well as coughing and shortness of breath. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Dihydrocodeine Details Please post back if you're able to rephrase your sentence. It seemed like a simple typo, but even missing a couple words can throw off the entire meaning behind your question.

Is bi- Profenid a narcotic? If not, what cN I ask the dentist for? I'm in France on Vacation and we have a difficult time understanding each other. ## Dihydrocodeine ## @Rikii, Bi-profenid (ketoprofen) is "not" classified as a narcotic. It is in a class of medications called NSAID. It works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation. You can read more about it here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000862 I hope this helps to answer your question!

Blue round pill with 55 on one side and crescent moon on other ## I had a whole post typed up, then I finally remembered what this is! LOL This is an over the counter product that is sold to help with insomnia, it's called Simply Sleep and it contains 25mgs of Diphenhydramine, which is an antihistamine. What you saw as a 55 is actually meant to be an SS! Is there anything else I can help with?
