    Darvocet – Drug Providing Relief from Mild to Moderate Pain 


    Darvocet [Generic name:  Acetaminophen and Propoxyphene] is an analgesic medicine given to relieve those who are suffering from moderate pain, which may or may not be accompanied by fever.  As with any other medicine, Darvocet has to be taken under medical prescription and guidance, as an overdose can be harmful.  It has to be kept out of reach of children and drug addicts; the prescribed dose to be taken at the scheduled time.  It is available online.

    Acetaminophen and Propoxyphene together compose Darvocet, an analgesic which is administered to relieve patients suffering from mild to moderate pain, which may be accompanied by fever.  While Acetaminophen, a non-narcotic analgesic and antipyretic, is a relatively mild pain reliever and reduces fever, Propoxyphene is a strong narcotic pain-reliever and cough suppressant.  Darvocet is effective in providing greater relief to patients since it is a combination of both Acetaminophen and Propoxyphene.  It is available in tablet formulation, the recommended adult dose being 1-2 tablets every 4 hours, but not to exceed 12 tablets of 325 mg or 6 tablets of 650 mg a day.

    Those prescribed Darvocet should inform the physician if they are allergic to any drug, or if they are suffering from any kind of breathing disorder [including asthma], have a history of alcohol/drug addiction, experience low blood pressure, abdominal/intestinal disorder, any disease related to the kidneys or liver, have a brain tumour or had a head injury, have curvature of the spine, or any kind of mental illness. Persons habituated to having more than three alcoholic beverages daily or those who have suffered cirrhosis of the liver may be unable to digest Darvocet because of the Acetaminophen content in it.  Darvocet can impair thinking; those taking it are advised to be extremely alert always, more so when driving or out of their homes.  Alcohol should be avoided. If the patient thinks the medicine has stopped working, then the doctor should be informed. Doctor’s instructions should be followed strictly, as an overdose of Acetaminophen [“APAP”] can seriously impair the liver, while leading to fatality in depressed patients.  One tablet of Darvocet may contain upto 650 mg Acetaminophen, while the maximum amount of Acetaminophen advisable for adults varies from 1000 mg to 4000 mg per day.

    Darvocet should be taken at a fixed time with water.  A missed dose can be taken as soon as you remember; but if it’s soon going to be time for the next dose, the missed dose should be skipped. Darvocet can also be taken with food or water to ease a stomach upset.  As Propoxyphene causes constipation, you should increase your water intake by drinking upto 8 glasses of water daily while taking Darvocet.  Ask the doctor before taking a laxative; you could increase the fibre content in your diet.  If Darvocet is taken for long, it may lead to withdrawal symptoms when stopped, but it should not be stopped on your own.  If a patient is about to undergo a surgery, then the medicine has to be stopped for some time.  Otherwise, the physician may wish to taper it off, before telling the patient to finally stop.  

    As with other medicines, Darvocet has side effects, which could include shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, fainting or feeling light-headed, confused thinking for no apparent reason, seizures, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, clay-coloured stools, jaundice, dark urine, itching, dryness in the mouth, blurred vision, headaches or swelling of the face-lips-tongue-throat. Inform the treating doctor of all medications-herbal products-vitamins-minerals being taken by you as some of these may clash with Darvocet, and the doctor can best decide what is suitable for you.

    Few studies have been conducted on pregnant women, yet if a woman is pregnant or planning to have a baby, then the doctor should be informed immediately as Acetaminophen and Propoxyphene can pass into breast milk and may cause breathing problem/withdrawal symptoms in newborns.

    Darvocet should be kept out of reach of children and pets, and not given to drug addicts.
