How Does Dihydrocodeine Continus 90mg Work?

Dihydrocodeine is a semi-synthetic analgesic that acts on opioid receptors in CNS. These receptors regulate the body’s response to pain. It works by binding to mu-opioid receptors in CNS to block pain signals, eventually suppressing the reflexes. The continus formulation of Dihydrocodeine releases gradually, maintaining the relief effect up to 12hours. However, due to codeine it may result in side effects including slowed breathing and reduced alertness.
