Dihydrocodeine for detoxification and maintenance treatment in individuals with opiate use disorders
Journal: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
Year: 2020

We found low-quality evidence that DHC may be no more effective than other commonly used pharmacological interventions in reducing illicit opiate use. It is therefore premature to make any conclusive statements about the effectiveness of DHC, and it is suggested that further high-quality studies are conducted, especially in low- to middle-income countries.
