What is Darvocet?

Darvocet is a potent prescription drug that contains a combination of propoxyphene and acetaminophen. Propoxyphene is an opioid (narcotic) that helps relieve pain. At the same time, acetaminophen is a fever reducer and a less potent pain reliever that aids in increasing the pain-relieving effects of propoxyphene. People usually buy Darvocet online to relieve pain ranging from moderate to severe levels, either with or without fever. There have been reports of this drug affecting the heart even in people taking regular doses. Darvocet is used for purposes not enlisted in the medication guide.

What to do before taking Darvocet?

It would be best if you did not take Darvocet if you are allergic to propoxyphene or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Darvocet can be a habit-forming drug used by the individual it was prescribed for. Never share this medicine with someone else, especially if the person has a history of drug abuse or addiction. We advise you to keep the medication bottle in a place where others cannot get it.

Do not take Darvocet if you have been using an MAO inhibitor such as phenelzine (Nardil), furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), selegiline (Eldepryl, Zelapar, Emsam), rasagiline (Azilect), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the previous two weeks. It can cause a dangerous drug interaction resulting in severe side effects;

To ensure Darvocet is safe and secure to use, share your medical history with the healthcare professional, especially if you have ever had any of the following conditions:

  • liver disease or kidney disease;
  • breathing disorders such as asthma, sleep apnea (interrupted breathing during sleep);
  • COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease);
  • a pancreas or gallbladder disease;
  • suicidal thoughts or behavior;
  • a stomach or intestinal disorder;
  • a history of a brain tumor or head injury; or
  • mental health disorder, or a past drug or alcohol addiction

Tell your healthcare professional if you consume more than three alcoholic beverages in a day or have ever had alcoholic liver disease (or cirrhosis). Your health expert may ask you not to take any medication that contains acetaminophen.
