M 172

white oblong ## I found pills in my son's room. They are white oblong with 1721 om 1 side and M on other side ## it is Propoxyphene (generic for Darvocet) ## That is correct. Learn more Darvocet details here. And to add some updated details, as can be read in the monograph at the link that I posted, Propoxyphene and it's relatives have been removed from the market in most countries due to the risk it caused of cardiac dangers and an inordinate number of overdose deaths. Are there any other questions or comments?

How do I make these muscle spams go away? ## Hello, Meela! How are you? Are you making sure to take in enough fluid while taking this? One of the active ingredients is Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that's used to help remove excess fluid from the body, but it can cause dehydration if you aren't taking in enough to replace it. That's usually what causes the muscle spasms. Have you consulted your doctor?
