Liquid Dihydrocodiene Conversion To Pill Dosage
      #181362 - 08/19/04 01:57 PM

Hi Guys, I need some help. I mistakingly ordered liquid DHC and have no idea what dosage equals a 60ml DHC pill. It is a spanish product called Tosidrin.

It reads in spanish "Composicion: por ml (equivalente a 33 gotas): bitratrota de dihidrocodeina 0,01 g.

Any help would be great.

Well, the English translation would be:

Composition: by mililiter (equivalent to 33 drops) = (pills) of
dihidrocodeine - 0.01 g

Therefore, one mililiter (ml) of liquid is equal to 0.01g or 10mg of pill.

Thus, a 60mg pill = 6 ml of liquid, or approx. 198 drops.

Hope this helps.

Therion, thanks for the translation. Seems that the liquid form is not as cost effective as the pill form. Anybody out there have any experience with liquid compared to pill for pain relief?

Thanks.

Makes sense. Seems like a good med for breakthrough pain.
