How will these Dihydrocodeine tablets help to ease my pain?
Paramol tablets contain 500mg of paracetamol and 7.46mg dihydrocodeine, and paracetamol and dihydrocodeine work together to relieve pain where other painkillers, like paracetamol alone, ibuprofen, and aspirin alone, are not enough. Paracetamol is a regular painkiller which may also help reduce a high temperature and fever. Dihydrocodeine is a strong analgesic, which may be used with other painkillers to relieve moderate pains.
Is Dihydrocodeine addictive?
You are very unlikely to become addicted to dihydrocodeine in a form that is taken in tabs such as Paramol, as long as you follow the instructions by your pharmacist or the manufacturer carefully. BUT, if you have been taking this product for a long time, even if supervised by a doctor you may be dependent on it, so you will need to wean off it. Also those who use dihydrocodeine as a recreational substance in order to get high probably have much more of a chance of getting addicted to it than those people who use the product for its pain relief properties.
What symptoms will I experience if I become addicted to this medication?
Should you become addicted to Paramol or Dihydrocodeine there are some signs you can look out for. For instance, you may note that you are taking or needing to take the medication for longer or use more than the maximum dose daily to achieve the same effects. You may also find that when you stop taking this medication suddenly, you have withdrawal symptoms. Your withdrawal symptoms could include nausea, shaking, sweating, and feeling nervous, restless or agitated. If you have any concerns about being addicted to this medication, and are not sure what to do, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
