Dihydrocodeine is an opioid drug very similar to codeine. Co-dydramol is a combination of dihydrocodeine and acetaminophen (paracetamol).[1][2]
Difference from codeine[edit | edit source]
Dihydrocodeine is related to codeine and provides similar pain relief, but is a stronger variant and has a greater euphoric effect. This means dihydrocodeine carries a greater risk of addiction.[2]
