Re: Contugesic - Dihydrocodeine (DHC) Liver damage?

Rara: Could you please tell us where the DHC's you are talking about are from ?

DHC like codeine, should in a short while break down to morphine in the blood and little more that matters. Morphine in the blood is definately addicting, although if you keep doses low, problems arise far less so. I remember someone before saying they thought something is being added to the DHC from the Phillipines. I am not convinced that there is anything added to the those pills. DHC has subjective effects that are different from codeine which some people prefer and others do not. Supposedly DHC is less foggy and less sedative than regular codeine, so that description of DHC sort of describes hydro to me. Of course metabolisms differ and people respond differently toevery medication. Some people say DHCs strength seems on par with codeine others say 1.5 times stronger and above I read twice as strong. I think the difference in perspective depends on what ails you. If someone measures their medicine by how happy they become from the drug, then a very different viewpoint will be held than from someone who measures or compares a medicine's pain killing relief. Some physical body ailments might be better served by one over the other, so the strength would vary by condition.

If someone has a lot of experience with true, well labelled DHC from the US or Europe, and they have also used the unlabeled, no brand Philippine variety, I'd like to know how do they compare?
