This forum is not to discuss suppliers. This thread is to discuss Dihydrocodeine mg and not the compnaies offering it. We have other forums for that.
Thank you for your support.

I posted this question a few weeks ago and eventually found out for myself. Getting into numbers (mg vs mg) is useless because everyone is different. But as a general rule, DHC is stronger than codiene but weaker than hydro and Percocet. Most dhc comes in the 60mg form. One of these in my opinion is probably about the strenth of 3mg percocet. But that is just my experience and everyone should be careful when dosing something you're not familiar with. Either way you look at it, you have a much stronger drug.
I wantd to mentione this, but then I read this post. DHC , IMO, doesn't fit into the characterisitic conversion scenarios that are popular with other pain pills. Codeine and hydrocodone can be compared mg for mg, but they still won't feel the same (for me). Everyone is different. I was lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it) to have DHC (contugesic 60 mg time released) work really, really well for me. Better than hydro, better than percocet. If the potency was the same, I would gladly take an equivalent number of DHC pills overy hydro........

Hey people -Looking for a little help here . I found a site which sells Paracodina-2.40g DHC in 150 ml syrup-is this stuff strong enough to help with pain? For $21.00 is it worth a shot ?
PS PM me if you want the addy
That's very strong; if my maths is correct that's 80mg DHC in a 5mL spoonful.
The other possibility is perhaps it is meant to be taken as drops. There might also be some paracetamol in the syrup too?

And another site refers to it more specifically: Paracodina 12 mg/5ml syrup 150 mililiter dihidrocodeína The following information goes to complement and not to replace the knowledge and criterion of its doctor, phamacist or of any other sanitary professional. This information does not replace I prospect and it does not have to be interpreted that the use of the medicine is safe, appropriate or effective for you. Consult to a professional of the health before using this medicine Syrup - spoon Actions: Used medicine to calm the cough (ANTITUSIGENO). http://translate.google.com/translate?hl...%3Doff%26sa%3DNIt was in Googlish though (translated).
