Darvocet Vs Vicodin
(Newest replies first)

What is the difference between Darvocet N APAP 100-650 and Hydrocodone 500 mg?

REPLY

REPORT

Darvocet contained the active ingredients Propoxyphene, and Acetaminophen. It is no longer available in the U.S., due to the fact that it's risks were deemed to outweigh any possible benefits it might provide, since it was such as mild opiate analgesic. Many people were found to be taking more than their prescribed dose, if it didn't work immediately, and this caused some Acetaminophen toxicity, overdoses, and deaths.

Ref: Propoxyphene FDA Information

If you saw a Hydrocodone medication with 500mgs listed, then that was the mount of Acetaminophen in the tablets. It was coupled with Hydrocodone of 5, 7.5, or 10mg dosages. However, the FDA has made some changes, due to the risks of Acetaminophen overdose, and they have now changed it, so these combination prescription products can no longer contain more than 325mgs of Acetaminophen per dose.

Hydrocodone Information

Both of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Fentanyl is a very serious drug, and it is 10 to 20 x more powerful than morphine. It made my Uncle have a stroke& after he stoped taking it the last stroke he had killed him. Beware of this drug, only take it if it's your last resort.
