Darvon 100mg

Darvon 100 mg (propoxyphene) was an opioid pain medication prescribed for the management of mild to moderate pain. It worked by acting on opioid receptors in the central nervous system to reduce the perception of pain.

Due to evidence of serious cardiovascular risks, including potentially life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities and overdose, Darvon and all propoxyphene-containing products were withdrawn from the U.S. market. Patients should not use old supplies of this medication and should consult a healthcare professional regarding safer treatment alternatives.
