Tablet With D F 118

Updated

What is the base ingredients for DF 118. It was prescribed for severe back pain/spasm and I understand it is a schedule 7 (in SA). Is there any other similar type that is available over the counter.
I am allergic to Penecillin, Asprin and Sulphur. Am recovering from stomach and intestinal ulcers at the moment due to continues anti inflamitory medication for pain control due to 4 failed back surgeries. Tramal is a daily assistance, but when these attacks occur, I used to be able to have a Voltarin injection and a cortisone injection. Now I am in a fix!!! Can you assist please.

Good Day

The principle ingrdient in DF 118 is dihydrocodeine which is an opiate minicker, it combines with your own onatuarl painkilling endorphins which your body produces in order to combat pain

It is indeed a schedule 7 drug, up there with Morphine, Pethidine and all of the rest of the nasty stuff.

The government in RSA is trying to remove all medications which contain Codeine as there ia a big problem with addiction to this opiate/codeine copier

As a doctor I too have sever back problems and after 12 surgeries I too battle on with daily misery

I also started to search for something that I could use without the danger of addiction, in my line of work that is all to easy if you don't watch it.

I have found that if you go to the chemist and ask for Ponstan /Ponstel 500mg you will find them helpful as I did, they are paracetemol base with a mild anti immflamatory part to it as well.
You would need to take 1gram (2x 500mg tablets) per dose at least 3 times a day or even better 4 times if the pain is severe, pace yourself, only toake what is needed at any one time or you might end up with paracetemol toxicity.

Something else that you could ask a your chemist is Stopayne Capsules which are alo 500mg paracetemol and a mild aniimmflamatory agent
