What is Dihydrocodeine 30mg?

Prescription opioid analgesics called dihydrocodeine 30mg Tablets are used to treat dyspnea, a persistent cough, and moderate to severe pain. When non-opioid pain relievers like paracetamol do not work, it is frequently recommended. Dihydrocodeine blocks pain signals and lessens discomfort by acting directly on the central nervous system.

How It Works

Dihydrocodeine decreases the transmission of pain signals by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. It works well for managing pain and respiratory symptoms since it also reduces breathing difficulties and inhibits the cough reflex.
