Morphine

Noscapine

Empirical Formula :				C₂₂ H₂₃ NO₇
Specification :				IP, B.P.
Therapeutic Category :				Antitussive
Availability :				Regular Production

Oxycodone Hydrochloride

Empirical Formula :				C₁₈ H₂₁ NO₄ HCL
Specification :				USP
Therapeutic Category :				Analgesic
Availability :				Production on demand
Details :				Oxycodone is an effective analgesic for mild to moderate pain control, chronic pain syndromes and for treatment of terminal cancer pains. Five mg. of Oxycodone is equivalent to 30 mg. of Codeine when administered orally. It is equipotent to Morphine for control. 10 mg. of orally administered Oxycodone is equivalent to 10 mg. of subcutaneously administered Morphine.

Dihydrocodeine Bi Tartarate

Empirical Formula :				C₁₈ H₂₃ NO₃ C₄ H₆ O₆
Specification :				USP and BP
Therapeutic Category :				Analgesic and Antitussive
Availability :				Production on demand
Details :				Dihydrocodeine Bi Tartarate is effective, analgesic and antitussive.

Hydrocodone Bi Tartarate

Empirical Formula :				C₁₈ H₂₁ NO₃ C₄ H₆ O₆ 2^1/2 H₂ O
Specification :				USP and BP
Therapeutic Category :				Analgesic and Antitussive
Availability :				Production on demand
Details :				Hydrocodone is effective as antitussive and also used as analgesic. Hydrocodone is a more effective analgesic then codeine in acute musculoskeletal pain. Central nervous system side effects are less common with Hydrocodone than Codeine.

Pholcodine

Empirical Formula :				C₂₃ H₃₀ N₂ O₄ H₂ O
Specification :				IP, BP and EP
Therapeutic Category :				Analgesic and Antitussive
Availability :				Production on demand
Details :				Pholcodine has antitussive activity similar to, or somewhat greater than, that of Codein. Pholcodine appears to be devoid of addiction liability. In contrast to Codeine, Pholcodine is not metabolized to Morphine. Toxicity studies demonstrate a generally safer profile for Pholcodine than for Codeine.
