The Dihydrocodeine 30mg tablets on this page are standard tablets.
They should not be confused with slow-release Dihydrocodeine. Standard and slow-release products differ in their strengths, release characteristics and dosing schedules.
When comparing Dihydrocodeine products online, check both the strength and formulation rather than assuming every Dihydrocodeine tablet is the same.
Dihydrocodeine is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It may be prescribed following an operation or serious injury and for some longer-term painful conditions when weaker pain relief has not provided sufficient control.
It works within the central nervous system to reduce the transmission and perception of pain signals.
For a broader explanation of the medicine, including its uses, side effects and how it works, read our guide to Dihydrocodeine.
Standard Dihydrocodeine tablets can take approximately 1½ to 2 hours to work fully.
Do not take additional tablets simply because the first dose has not produced an immediate effect. Follow the directions provided with your treatment.
Take Dihydrocodeine according to the directions on your prescription and dispensing label.
General NHS guidance for standard 30mg tablets describes one tablet every four to six hours for adults and people aged 12 years and over, with a maximum of six 30mg tablets within 24 hours. Your individual instructions take priority because treatment requirements can differ.
Standard tablets should be swallowed with water and are best taken with or soon after a meal or snack.
Do not:
Do not increase the dose yourself.
Regular use can result in tolerance, meaning the medicine may appear less effective over time. If pain is no longer adequately controlled, treatment should be reviewed rather than the dose being changed without medical advice.
For more information about regular or longer-term use, read Can You Take Dihydrocodeine Every Day?.
Check the patient information leaflet supplied with your pack or seek professional advice if you are unsure what to do.
Do not take two doses at the same time to compensate for a forgotten dose.
Take Dihydrocodeine exactly as directed by your prescriber.
NHS guidance for standard 30mg Dihydrocodeine tablets states that the usual dose for adults and people aged 12 years and over is one 30mg tablet every four to six hours, with a maximum of six 30mg tablets in 24 hours. However, your own prescription and dispensing label take priority, because dosing must reflect your individual circumstances.
Do not:
Swallow standard Dihydrocodeine tablets whole with water. NHS guidance advises taking them with or soon after a meal or snack.
If you forget a dose, check the patient information leaflet included with your medicine or ask a doctor or pharmacist what to do.
Never take two doses at the same time to compensate for a forgotten dose.
Do not increase the dose yourself.
With prolonged opioid use, the body can develop tolerance, meaning the same dose may appear to provide less effect over time. Some people can also develop increased sensitivity to pain, known as hyperalgesia. Both situations require medical review rather than self-escalation of the dose.
If Dihydrocodeine has been taken regularly for more than a few weeks, do not suddenly stop without speaking to your doctor.
Physical dependence can develop during regular opioid treatment. Sudden discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms including anxiety, poor sleep, sweating, restlessness, nausea, muscle symptoms and pain. Your doctor may advise gradually reducing the dose.
Dihydrocodeine is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It may be prescribed after an operation or serious injury, or for some longer-term painful conditions when weaker pain relief has not provided enough relief.
It works within the central nervous system to reduce how strongly pain signals are transmitted and perceived.

Check the patient information leaflet supplied with your medicine if you miss a dose.
Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a forgotten dose.
Dihydrocodeine can cause side effects including constipation, nausea or vomiting, drowsiness and dizziness.
Alcohol can increase drowsiness and the risk of serious side effects. Other medicines that cause sedation can also affect how Dihydrocodeine acts, so tell your prescriber or pharmacist about other medicines you take.
Do not drive, cycle or operate machinery if you feel sleepy, dizzy or unable to concentrate.
Regular or prolonged use can lead to tolerance and physical dependence, and addiction can occur. If Dihydrocodeine has been taken regularly for more than a few weeks, do not suddenly stop without appropriate medical advice.
Taking too much Dihydrocodeine can cause severe sleepiness, breathing difficulties or loss of consciousness.
Contact NHS 111 for urgent advice if too much has been taken.
Call 999 or go to A&E if someone has serious breathing difficulties, becomes unconscious or cannot be woken.
