DHC continus prolonged release tablets contain the active ingredient dihydrocodeine, which is a type of medicine called an opioid painkiller.
Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors.
Dihydrocodeine mimicks the action of natural endorphins by combining with the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This blocks the transmission of pain signals sent by the nerves to the brain. Therefore, even though the cause of the pain may remain, less pain is actually felt.
Dihydrocodeine is used to relieve moderate to severe pain.
DHC continus tablets are known as ‘prolonged release’ tablets. They are designed to release the dihydrocodeine slowly and continuously over a few hours to provide prolonged pain relief. The tablets are taken every 12 hours. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not broken, chewed or crushed, as this would damage the prolonged release action. This could cause all the dihydrocodeine to be released at once, potentially leading to an overdose.
