Dihydrocodeine, codeine phosphate etc

I think this can only be answered by a qualified medic. Best to check with your GP or BLF nurses I know codeine suppresses coughing.

Its best to check with your doctor or a pharmacist, there is a caution with ibruprofen for instance as this can affect breathing.
