For more details you can check out the drug page: Propoxyphene ## Roy is correct, it is mostly prescribed as a combination pill that also contains Acetaminophen, the name brand for it is Darvocet. Darvon if it is just Propoxyphene without Acetaminophen. It is a very mild narcotic pain reliever.

Propoxyphene is no longer sold in India or anywhere for that matter, as it has been proven to cause heart problems. Darvon/Darvocet is manufactured in India by a number of major pharmaceutical companies there. It's formula includes Paracetemol which is equivalent to acetaminophen, but more potent as an analgesic and less toxic, and also includes in the new formula, tramadol, also a pain reliever. It is manufactured to exactly resemble the same capsule that previously was sold as Darvon, and is very popularly sold and seems more effective. ## I'm sorry, but that is incorrect, there is no difference between Paracetamol and Acetaminophen, they are exactly the same. And the formations that contain Tramadol are not called Darvon or Darvocet, they are Ultram and Ultracet. This is a na...

Which pharmacies will mail propoxyphene 65 (Darvon) to the U.S.? This med is the best for neuropathic pain, and I am able to keep a clear mind, unlike other meds which make me feel drugged. This mild med is perfect for me and doesn't make me throw up like other pain meds. This med was VOLUNTARILY taken off the market in the US, not actually banned. It is not illegal to possess in the United States. I use the kind without acetaminophen to keep any liver damage away. I'm almost out and need to get some more of this med. Please help. ## Propoxyphene and its relatives were removed from the market in the U.S. due to the fact that they can cause cardiac toxicity, so they were deemed unsafe to use. And, since it is also a narcotic, possession of it in the U.S., without a valid doctor...

oblong oval pale pink pill. scored both sides-capital A on one half and number 11 on other half of one side. Other side blank. ## This is NOT A Darvocet manufactured by Mylan, first of all they do not manufacture anything with the A logo, the use their M logo, MYL or MYLAN. Secondly they do not manufacture a Darvocet at all that does not have the whole word MYLAN on it. ## I cannot find this listed anywhere. Able Labs, that does use the A logo, does not manufacture anything with A 11 on it, so I am assuming it is either a foreign drug or something over the counter.
