Dihydrocodeine bitartrate is a synthetic opioid analgesic. Dihydrocodeine bitartrate mimics the actions of the endogenous opioid peptides due to its agonistic effects on the opioid receptors. Stimulation of the mu receptors produces the typical narcotic effects of analgesia, miosis, euphoria, respiratory depression, sedation, physical dependence and bradycardia. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Antitussives and Controlled drug substances. Its therapeutic use is listed as analgesics and cough suppressants. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Tuscodin, Contugesic, Parzone and Paracodeine bitartrate. It is listed as a controlled drug substance (Schedule III). Its PubChem CID is 5492624.
