Accord Dihydrocodeine 30mg is an opioid analgesic used to treat moderate to severe pain that has not responded to milder painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Manufactured by Accord Healthcare, these tablets contain dihydrocodeine tartrate, which works by mimicking the body's natural endorphins to reduce the perception of pain.
Uses of Accord Dihydrocodeine
This medication is primarily used for the management of strong pain, including post-operative pain, severe joint pain, or pain associated with chronic conditions. It provides "sharp relief" for individuals who require more potent analgesic intervention.
Dosage and Administration
Accord Dihydrocodeine 30mg tablets are usually taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. It is important to follow the exact dosage prescribed by your doctor. Because it is a controlled substance, do not exceed the recommended dose, as this increases the risk of side effects and dependence.
Important Safety Information
As an opioid medication, dihydrocodeine may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you. Common side effects may include constipation, nausea, or lightheadedness.
Note: This product is a controlled substance in Nigeria and is strictly prescription-only. You must provide a valid medical prescription to purchase this medication. If you have questions about your pain management, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
Packaging Information
While often searched for as "sachets" in local retail environments, Accord Dihydrocodeine is officially packaged in PVC/Aluminium blister packs to ensure product integrity and safety. Each pack typically contains 28, 56, or 100 tablets.
