Darvon, Darvocet Recall Issued Due to Risk of Heart Problems

A Darvocet and Darvon recall has been voluntarily issued by Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc. at the request of the FDA, warns Class Action.org. The FDA sought a recall of Darvon and Darvocet after a new study indicated that the prescription pain medication puts patients at risk for serious or potentially fatal heart rhythm abnormalities. If you or a loved one has experienced a heart attack, irregular heart beat or other cardiac problems while taking Darvon, Darvocet or the generic propoxyphene, visit http://www.classaction.org/darvon-and-darvocet.html and complete the Free Case Evaluation form to find out if you can recover financial compensation for your Darvon heart problems.  

According to new clinical research which prompted the Darvon and Darvocet recall, propoxyphene, the active ingredient in the drugs, can significantly impact the electrical activity of the heart, even when taken in recommended doses. This interference can lead to a number of heart problems, including irregular heartbeats, heart rhythm abnormalities, longer QT intervals and heart arrhythmias. Potentially, these Darvocet heart problems can lead to sudden death, cardiac arrest or the need for a pacemaker.

Patients who have suffered Darvocet heart problems may be able to file a claim to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other damages.
