Darvon and Darvocet
Darvon and Darvocet, both manufactured by Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc., have raised questions from medical professionals during the 50 years the drugs have been on the market. Darvocet is usually used to relieve mild to moderate pain and contains a combination of propoxyphene (a narcotic pain relievers) and acetaminophen (a pain reliever and fever reducer that increases the effects of the narcotic). While narcotic pain relievers can be beneficial when taken for short periods as prescribed by a doctor, there is always the danger of developing a dependence on the substance.
