Darvocet is used to relieve mild to moderate pain with or without fever, and as an anti-tussive. It is possible to classify it as a mild opioid pain-killer, however it is considered no more effective than aspirin in treating pain.
Codeine is more commonly used; however, some individuals (approximately 10-20% of the Caucasian population) are unable to metabolize it, due to poor functioning of the enzyme CYP2D6. It is in these people that Darvocet is particularly useful, as the metabolism of its active agent (dextropropoxyphene) does not require CYP2D6. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever and a fever reducer that increases the effects of propoxyphene (Darvocet).
In pure form, dextropropoxyphene is commonly used to ease the withdrawal symptoms in people addicted to opioids. Being very weak in comparison to the opioids that are commonly abused, dextropropoxyphene can only act as a "partial" substitute. It does not have much effect on mental cravings; however it can be effective in alleviating physical withdrawal effects, such as muscle cramps.
In the UK, dextropropoxyphene is now discouraged from general use; and, since 2004, preparations containing only dextropropoxyphene have been discontinued.
In the United States, dextropropoxyphene is available as a prescription formulation with paracetamol (acetaminophen). These are usually named Darvocet.
Before using Darvocet, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
Darvocet may be habit-forming.
Do not use Darvocet if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or propoxyphene.
Darvocet may be harmful to an unborn baby, and could cause breathing problems or addiction/withdrawal symptoms in a newborn.
Take Darvocet exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take it in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended by your doctor.
An overdose of acetaminophen can cause serious harm to your liver. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is 1 gram (1000 mg) per dose and 4 grams (4000 mg) per day. One Darvocet tablet may contain up to 650 mg of acetaminophen. Know the amount of acetaminophen in the specific product you are taking. Take this medicine with a full glass of water. Take with food or milk to ease stomach upset. Drink 6 to 8 full glasses of water daily to help prevent constipation while you are taking Darvocet.
Darvocet can cause you to have unusual results with certain urine tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using Darvocet.
If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using Darvocet. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Darvocet overdose is commonly broken into two categories: liver toxicity (from paracetamol poisoning) and dextropropoxyphene overdose. Many users experience toxic effects from the paracetamol (acetaminophen) in pursuit of the endlessly-increasing dose required to achieve euphoria. They suffer acute liver toxicity, which causes severe stomach pains, nausea, and vomiting (all of which are increased by light or stimulation of the sense of sight). As with all opioid tablets containing paracetamol or aspirin, risk of liver toxicity (from acetaminophen) or gastrointestinal irritation and ulcers (from aspirin) can be minimized by a simple cold water extraction technique.
Dextropropoxyphene overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), confusion, fainting, weak pulse, seizure (convulsions), coma, blue lips, shallow breathing, or no breathing. Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs.
Less serious side effects include:
Darvocet can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.
Before taking Darvocet, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following drugs:
