The Darvocet and Darvon heart risks were highlighted in a recent study which examined the cardiac side effects of propoxyphene. According to the research, Darvon and Darvocet can significantly impact the electrical activity of the heart, causing heart rhythm abnormalities which may result in sudden death or other adverse events. Due to the risk of Darvocet heart problems, the FDA concluded that the drug’s benefits no longer outweighed its risks and sought a recall of propoxyphene from the manufacturer. In Nov. 2010, the agency announced that Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals agreed to issue a Darvon and Darvocet recall.   

In light of the Darvon recall, patients or their loved ones may be able to recover financial compensation for Darvocet heart problems, such as cardiac arrest.
