[edit] Dihydromorphine used in Czech Republic or Slovakia?

"...though still perhaps relatively rarely, in Europe but has in fact been used more and in greater overall quantities in recent decades in some countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and others in the region."

Well. I'm quite familiar with analgesics used in Czechoslovakia, Czech and Slovak Republics, and as far as I know (from 1970 until now, at last), dihydromorphine was used neither in a commercial preparation nor in any magistraliter preparations in medicine in Cz/Sk whatsoever.
If noone provides a reliable source for this statement, I'll delete it in a day or two.--84.163.126.131 (talk) 19:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I can even list all opioids used in the CSSR until 1990:

Morphine; Codeine; Ethylmorphine; Hydrocodone; Oxycodone; Pholcodine (Neocodin); Omnopon/Pantopon; Pethidine (Dolsin); Methadone (Mecodin); Piritramide (Dipidolor); Bezitramide (Burgodin); Opium and its Preparations (Tinct. Opii, Pulvis Opii); Fentanyl, Alfentanil and Sufentanil; Tilidine; Tramadol; Propoxyphen and Dextropropoxyphene; Pentazocine; Butorphanol; Nalbuphine; Buprenorphine. Some were discontinued prior to 1990, some introduced in the late 1980's (Rapifen, Sufenta, Buprenorphine). Nowadays, the range of opioids marketed is comparable to that of other EU lands. If I missed some, a correction is wellcomed.--84.163.126.131 (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
