Is this medicine right for me?
Like any medication dihydrocodeine may not be right you. Only your doctor can decide how best to treat your condition. When considering the right treatment for your condition, the doctor may need to consider not only the condition itself, but also:
- what other medical conditions you have
- what other medications you are taking
- your age and general state of health
- lifestyle issues especially smoking/drinking alcohol
Dihydrocodeine is typically prescribed for the relief of moderate pain.
Dihydrocodeine is contraindicated for some patients including those with a history of liver, kidney, prostate or thyroid problems and those with epilepsy or low blood pressure. Read the leaflet in your medicine for complete information. During pregnancy or lactation dihydrocodeine should only be taken as advised by your doctor.
Does dihydrocodeine have side effects?
Like all prescription medications, dihydrocodeine can have side-effects, and it is not suitable everyone. Side effects can be minor in which case they can usually be disregarded. Or they may be significant requiring you to discontinue the medication or consult a medical professional.

- Sickness or abdominal pain

In common with other codeine medications, dihydrocodeine can be addictive and it may be abused. You should not buy dihydrocodeine if you have ever been a drug addict or abuser.
An overdose of dihydrocodeine can lead to death. It is vitally important that you do not exceed the daily dosage prescribed by the doctor. Should you believe you have taken an overdose, you must contact medical emergency immediately.
