Darvocet Return To Market (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have given Darvocet to patients for over 50 years. It is much superior to the codeine addicting medications. I have been unable to find any pain medication as effective as darvocet on medium acute or chronic pain. How can we get this medication back on the market?

It is the one pain med I can take that I am NOT allergic to, why don’t they put it back on the market. For those who have trouble with it , use your head, take something else. However, unfair to those of us who need it and can’t take anything else!!!

Re: PharTech (# 17)

Do agree with ya tech, could make equiv. of about 1000 doses (N-100) strength for about $5.00 US. Problem is that compounding pharmacies are faced with the "damned if they do and if they don't", & could get sued either way. But until someone videos them saying something like that lie they told Darvocetfan about not being able to get one of the ingredients and challenges them for refusing to compound the medicine, (violation of law) by FILING for litigation, they will side with the lay of the land and try to slide. What is needed now is a real lawyer and not one that is trying to get payoffs from big pharma to sideline the suit.

Believe it or not it was not removed by El Lilly. Lilly fought Sidney Wolfe, masquerading as Public Citizen, a Ralph Nader fronting group. First Sidney who is a medical bureaucrat not a real practicing physician said it didn't work, then it was addictive, then it had tremendous side effects and on and on. In our institution we switched from Percodan to Darvon for postpartum discomfort. We had pain free mothers and few if any dropped babies with the additional advantage of less constipation. Lilly fought this group until the patent expired and there was no incentive to continue. Now we are cursed with all the oxycontin drugs. Thanks Sid you jerk.

Only in the eyes of Sidney Wolfe. Could not be beaten for post partum discomfort and much safer than Percodan that had been used previously. No more sleepy Moms and dropped infants.

Re: Verwon (# 1)

I only took Darvocet when I had dental work done. It worked great with no obvious side effects. I can NOT take any of the opiod replacements. They ALL make me nauseated and throw up. The doctors have tried tricking me ny telling me the various replacements will not make me sick. They all do.

Darv. Fan,

Doc, I can appreciate everything you included in your pro propox. Post however no where in any submission is there reference to addicts consuming propox in excessive doses to weakly mimic the effects of dolophine aka methadone. Overdose deaths were common unlike with traditional codeine abuse's. Darvocet for mild pain was a staple in most households back in the day so I can understand the nostalgic belief that this medication was all good to all folk. As reasonable thinking adults we know when they decided to take these off the shelves all the protests in the world are not going to reverse that call.

Darvocet and it's related medications will not be returning to market in the U.S. or Canada. On top of the severe issues that caused it to be pulled from the market, it has been replaced with safer and more effective medications.

First, it was just as addictive as other narcotic opiates, including codeine and yet was found to be nowhere near as effective as the others that are available.

Second, it was found to be cardiotoxic, thankfully, most issues it caused were reversible, when the medication was discontinued, but if someone suffered heart failure or a heart attack due to the Propoxyphene, those are conditions that continue to have an affect for the duration of someone's lifespan. There were also some fatalities.

Learn more Darvocet details here.

There were also what the FDA phrased as 'an inordinate number of overdoses' among people taking it, which also included many fatalities.

Thus, it was deemed that the drug's risks far outweighed any possible benefits.

Are there any other questions or comments?
