" 08/24/1988 - "The increased sensitivity to dihydrocodeine in terms of the depression of frequency of respiration and the cough reflex in 5,7-DHT-treated rats could possibly have been due to changes in the sensitivity of serotonergic receptors." 09/30/1971 - "[Clinical experiences with pentamethylentetrazole-dihydrocodeine in the therapy of cough in patients with pulmonary]." 07/01/1964 - "DIHYDROCODEINE AS A COUGH SUPPRESSANT." 08/24/1988 - "The present study sought to determine whether rats, treated neonatally with 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT), have an increased sensitivity to the respiratory and cough-depressant effects induced by dihydrocodeine.
