The Martindale also publishes the manufacturer of each "brand name" in each respective country, but to save typing time I skipped that info that is in each of the Martindale books. Thanks for the list ... too lazy to do my own research.

Scruffy80 & bazzal99, I have never seen dihydrocodeine, at least by a "brand manufacturer" in Western Europe or Eastern Europe that was "cheap" from a IOP. The range I am familiar with is from at least $9.00 per caplet by Knoll Pharma (under license for Purdue to mfg the 120 mg DHC Continus (sustained release) a/k/a "Dicodin", to as much as, $18.00 per caplet for "DHC" in US Dollars "half the dose" @ 60 mg. for about $18.00 each. The former IOP www.rxvogue.com appears to be out of business, after nearly a 8 year run. (one vendor that offered the Knoll/Purdue product) www.igloo.com has a 30 mg. DHC on their inventory, @30 tabs for $52.50 (US dollars) I don't know the manufacturer, or if it is a "generic version" or if it is immediate release, or, the sustained release version. This "pure version" of dihydrocodeine (without any other ingredients like Apap) is a Schedule II inside the USA, (not made in USA) except as a C-III with only 16 mg. of dihydrocodeine (DHC Plus, Synalgos-DC, with Paracetamol+caffeine).
