hello. ive been taking co-codamol for a while for my knee pains.
and was wondering which would be better for me to take..
co-proxamol (containing dextropropoxyphene)
or co-codamil (containing codeine)
which is more powerful?
cheers

also, does the filteration technique used for codeine based products work with dextropropoxyphene?
is it water soluble???

thankies![:I]

Dextropropoxyphene is the same as the US Darvocet, this is a very, very mild pain reliever, and doesn't help much for most people.


Codeine is much stronger and will provide much better pain relief.

My information is not guaranteed correct. I do not get them right all the time, but I do enjoy the hunt~

In theory, they should be about the same, dextropropoxyphene (Darvocet) is basically a synthethic version of codeine, it tricks the brain to thinking the body has consumed codeine and produces the same effects.

However, we all know that theres nothing better than the real thing. Codeine is stronger and a more effective pain killer for knee pains, but more addictive and increases withdrawel symptoms.

If your asking if it's water soluble because you want to shoot it up, the answer is no, im sure it would clog the needle. Very dangerous also.

no not to inject.... (i've heard it's rather heat / light sesitive anyway so that wouldn't work)

just so if my tolerance were to increase then i could avoid liver damage.

cheers for the replys

Darvocet is currently being phased out by the FDA, they also say studies show it is less effective then most OTC painkillers.
