DARVOCET & DARVON

Darvocet and Darvon (known generically at propoxphene) are prescription opioids used to treat pain.  Made by Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc. of Newport, Ky., the drug was approved by regulators in 1957.  In November of 2010, the maker of Darvon and Darvocet announced that it would stop marketing the widely used painkillers in the U.S. because a new study links the active ingredient to serious and sometimes fatal heart rhythm abnormalities.

Other Side Effects of Darvon and Darvocet include:

•    heart attack
•    stroke
•    death
•    numerous cardiac disorders (arrhythmia, bradycardia, tachycardia, heart attack)
•    irregular heart beat
•    chest pain
•    shortness of breath
•    excessive sweating
•    dizziness
•    fatigue
•    nausea and vomiting
•    loss of consciousness
