i took darvocete N50 for 5 yrs for back pain..and actually had a life..with the removal from the mkt...i am in constant pain..and cant take the substitutes dr has prescribed for me...so i take more tylenol than i should to help with the pain..to no avail..and my liver will probably fail..but i wont die of a heart issue..they will reformulate darvocete..and reintroduce..so the drug companies can make more money off the drug..while we wait in pain!!!!!..shame on them!!!! ## Now that this medication has been taken off the market, it has become an illegal drug (I suppose)...so now the pharmacies in countries where the drug has not been withdrawn are selling it online and making big money under the table. How shocking to find Darvocet being sold online from these places that push Valium, vic...

My grandfather has a Darvocet prescription from 1997- 16 years old. He's convinced that he can still take it even though it is so old. I think they need to be thrown them away .... Are they safe even though they are 16 years old?? ## Hello, Worried! How are you? Yes, the Darvocet should be disposed of, not just because it's old, but because it was also found to be dangerous and has been pulled from the U.S. prescription drug market. It was found to be caridotoxic and there were some fatalities. ## Thank you so much! ## I had some from 2008 and it was fine.

What is in Darvocet "5112 V"? Is it as effective as Vicodin 750? ## 5112V is a generic Darvocet, which contains Acetaminophen 650mg + Propoxyphene 100 mg. It is a narcotic pain reliever, but is different from Vicodin because it contains Propoxyphene instead of Hydrocodone. The Vicodin 750 which you are talking about contains Acetaminophen 750 mg + Hydrocodone 7.5 mg. Ultimately everyone responds differently to medications, so please be sure to check in with your doctor or pharmacist regarding which one they recommend for you. Do you have any other questions? Please post back if you have any other questions or information to add. ## How long does darvocet stay in your system?

When will darvocet n be available again? ## Hello, MJ! How are you? I'm sorry, but Darvocet has been permanent removed from the market, due to the fact that it was found to cause cardiac toxicity and there were also many cases of overdose fatalities. It would be advisable to speak to your doctor to see what would be a safer alternative for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

Looking for Darvocet (Propoxy-N/APAP) ## Looking to buy Darvocet in Mexico. I live in Kansas City, USA ## They used to sell Darvon Simple (65mg) out of Mexico, blister packaged. The last time I was in Mexico you could get Darvocet, but only at certain farmacias. Darvocet 65mg/325mg (Acetaminophen) ## I don't understand why you'd want to take a banned drug? It was banned because it put patients at risk of abnormal or even fatal heart rhythm abnormalities. Doesn't that scare you from wanting to take it? The link below has more information regarding Darvocet being banned: I hope you are able to find another alternative that does what you want it to! For your safety I would suggest asking your local pharmacist about other closely related drugs.

Does anyone know about this?? ## Dana, You're right - Darvin IS actually another brand of Acetaminophen + Propoxyphene, basically the same as Darvocet. Encyclopedia actually did say the following: 'In the United States, dextropropoxyphene HCl is available as a prescription with acetaminophen in ratio anywhere from 30mg / 600mg to 60mg / 325mg, respectively. These are usually named Darvocet, Darvin...

I took one that is very old. Will I get sick ## Hello, Scoby! How are you? How old was it? Medications can lose effectiveness over time and this one also carries the risk of causing cardiac toxicity. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
