Darvocet Forums (Page 4)

Just found them and I am pretty sure they are darvocet 650s ## No, this is not a Darvocet tablet, nor any type of narcotic. The marking is actually 8I (that's a capital i) and it contains 800mgs of Ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Learn more Ibuprofen details here. This same manufactured also has ones with a 4I and 6I marking that contain 400mgs and 600mgs respectively. What made you think it was Darvocet?

i cant figure out what this is i was told it was darvocet can anyone vowge that? ## From what I've found, the tablet with the 600 n marking that matches this description is a 600mg Gabapentin tablet from Canada. Learn more Gabapentin details here. It's an anticonvulsant that has also been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain, so it isn't a narcotic of any type. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is a good substitute for Darvocet N/100 for treating pain? ## Darvocet contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Propoxyphene, it was really the mildest narcotic pain reliever on the market. As to an alternative that might have the same pain relieving properties, have you tried Tramadol? It is not a narcotic, but works very similarly. It is also available with Acetaminophen, under the trade name Ultram. There are some other narcotic+Acetaminophen combinations on the market, but most will be stronger than the Darvocet was, even at their lowest dosages. Here are the links to a couple that you can check out and discuss with your doctor: Does any one else have any suggestions? ## The problem many patients have with Tramadol (ultram) is severe GI upset. Over the years DCN-100 ha...

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the market, it has become an illegal drug (I suppose)...so now the pharmacies in countries where the drug has not been withdrawn are selling it online and making big money under the table.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...

i am trying to place an order for darvcet-n 100mg and all these sead you to the other sites. can i really buy darvocet-n w/o a perscription ## I'm sorry, but this site does not manufacture, nor sell any medications, this is an information only website. And as to the Darvocet, it is no longer legally available in the U.S., or most other countries. It was removed from the market due to the fact that Propoxyphene causes a high risk of cardiac dangers. If you need a medication for pain, you should speak to your doctor and find out what is safest for you to try. Are there any other questions?

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.

my mother needs darvocet for her pain she ..can't find any thing that works as will.... ## Since Darvocet is a prescription medication, the only legal and safe way to go about getting the medication is for your mom to make an appointment with her doctor and have him/her write a prescription for Darvocet. It's really as simple as that. Ordering this medication else where is illegal and typically leads to disappointment due to receiving fake pills or not receiving anything at all. There are however some legitimate websites that require a prescription or doctors notification in order to place an order, but they can be difficult to locate amongst all of the illegal sites. Hope this info helps!

I ordered a 90 day supply of Darvocet (Propoxyphene Nap + Apap Tab. from Medco (Mail order) Right after they recalled this drug. Am I entitled to a full refund from the manufacturer Teva? ## The recall and any refund should be handled by the company you ordered from, in this case Medco. Then they should handle the issue with getting their money back from Teva, when they return the unused medications to them. Thus, you should check with Medco on what their refund policy is for such situations. If it was sent to you after the recall, they shouldn't have sent it to you, at all. This, of course, only applies to anything ordered with a legitimate prescription. If someone orders without one, then it is a whole other ball game. Have you tried contacting Medco? ## Thank you Verwon. I did tr...

pink ## This is a very mild, narcotic analgesic, Propoxyphene (100mgs) is the opiate and APAP is just medical speak for Acetaminophen (650mgs.) Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea and constipation. ## what drug can be substituted for the recalled Darvocet 10-650? ## Unfortunately, there are no real substitutes for Darvocet N 100; the medical establishment through no fault of their own, tells people to try this one or that one etc. This medication was for mild to moderate pain, and the reason it was popular was that people took it who didn't want a "high", it allowed them to function, and it relieved their pain.(my opinion).

It is an abomination that this drug has been taken from the market. If someone had problems with they should have stopped taking it. I am sitting here with hugh red rashes on my legs from a substitute medication Vicodin. I have serious RA have have been taking Propoxphene (Darvocet N) for many years without any ill effects. Now I have to try different pain relievers and have had bad reactions to all of them. I am in terrible pain and can't get any relief. Maybe those of us in this situation show start our own law suit against the group that took Propoxphene off the market. ## I found a lawyer on the web from Park City, Utah who has filed a petition. Google the name Barbara L. Maw for more info.

Darvocet discontinued, replaced by hydroco/apap 5-325, dose 1 q8h. I do not get the pain relief I did with Darvocet. Perhaps dosage is not high enough or strength not strong enough? ## The dosage not being high enough would also be my guess. The Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen is available with the Hydrocodone in 7.5mgs and in 10mgs, so you may wish to talk to your doctor about trying one of those dosages. Darvocet is a very mild narcotic, so it doesn't take a very large dose of anything else to equal or surpass it. The side effect profile is very similar, for both and may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Read more: Are there any other comments or questions?
