I have tried both Didor Continus 60mg. and Codesic 30mg. I have yet to try DF118. In my opinion, 60mg of DHC is comparable to 5mg. Hydrocodone. But I would like to add that DHC seems to stay in your system much longer than Hydro. All I hear is good things about Dihydrocodeine, and how effective it is for pain relief. I have yet to hear one negative thing about it. The thing I would like to know is why is it not prescribed more often, and made available in more than the just a few low dosage medications. Could someone tell me the names of the domestic versions of DHC medications available, and what the different stengths are?
