It’s important to take dihydrocodeine as your doctor has asked you to. This is particularly important because dihydrocodeine can be addictive.
You’ll usually start on a low dose of standard dihydrocodeine. Your doctor may increase this gradually until your pain is well controlled.
The usual dose for adults and children aged 12 years and over is:
For children aged between 1 and 11 years, their dose is based on weight.The usual dose is between 0.5mg and 1mg per kg of body weight. They can be given a maximum dose of up to 30mg every 4 to 6 hours.
Swallow the tablets whole with a drink of water. It’s best to take them with or soon after a meal or snack.If you’re taking dihydrocodeine as a liquid, it will come with a plastic medicine spoon or syringe to help you measure the correct amount. Ask a pharmacist for one if you do not have it.Do not measure the liquid with a kitchen teaspoon because it will not give the right amount.
This will depend on why you’re taking dihydrocodeine.If you’re taking it for pain after an operation you may only need to take if for a short time.You may need to take it for longer if you have a long-term pain or illness such as cancer.Always check with a doctor if you want to stop taking dihydrocodeine.It’s possible that you could become dependent on dihydrocodeine and have withdrawal symptoms if you stop suddenly. These can include:
If these happen to you, speak to a doctor. It may be possible to reduce your dose slowly to stop these from happening.

Adults can take 1 or 2 tablets (of any strength) up to 4 times in 24 hours. It’s important to leave a gap of at least 4 to 6 hours between doses of co-codamol.The maximum dose is 8 co-codamol tablets in 24 hours.Taking too much co-codamol can be very dangerous. That’s because the paracetamol in it can cause liver damage.Do not increase the dose of co-codamol or take more than 2 tablets at once, even if your pain is very bad. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor if you think the dose is not enough to help your pain.
Swallow co-codamol tablets or capsules whole with a drink of water.Co-codamol also comes as soluble (effervescent) tablets that you dissolve in a glass of water to make a drink.You can take co-codamol with or without food.
If your doctor has prescribed co-codamol for you, they’ll tell you how long to take it for.For example, if you’re in pain after an injury or operation you may need to take it for a few days or weeks. You may need to take it for longer if you have a long-term condition that causes pain.If you’ve bought co-codamol from a pharmacy, do not take it for more than 3 days. If you still have pain after 3 days, talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
Taking 1 or 2 extra tablets is unlikely to harm you. Do not take more than 8 tablets in 24 hours.Taking too much co-codamol can be dangerous and you may need treatment. Too much co-codamol can cause liver damage.
