How Darvocet-N 100 Affects Patients

Acetaminophen has been shown to reduce fever and relieve pain, but unlike other medicines in the same class, it does not have anti-inflammatory effects. It is also unlikely to cause allergic reactions. Acetaminophen does not affect the body's acid-base balance, disrupt tubular secretion of uric acid, or inhibit platelet aggregation when taken at the recommended doses.

How Darvocet-N 100 works in the body

We don't know exactly how acetaminophen works, but it's thought to increase the pain threshold by stopping two enzymes from producing molecules that cause pain. These enzymes are found in the brain and have no effect on other parts of the body. Acetaminophen also affects other brain centers which help regulate body temperature, which is why it can be used to reduce fever. More research is needed to understand acetaminophen's full mechanism of action.

Darvocet-N 100 Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Acetaminophen is toxic at high doses in rats and mice, and can cause symptoms such as kidney damage, low blood sugar, low platelets, and liver failure. In rare cases, long-term use can lead to cancer in female rats. It is also potentially mutagenic and could disrupt chromosomes. Studies in animals have not shown any effects on fertility, but human studies are not available. During pregnancy, acetaminophen should only be used when necessary. Small amounts of the drug are found in breastmilk, so it should be used cautiously while nursing.

Patient Q&A Section about darvocet-n 100

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are Darvocet still on the market?

"The FDA has concluded that the risks associated with propoxyphene outweigh the benefits and as a result, all propoxyphene-containing products (including Darvocet and Darvon) are no longer available."

Answered by AI

Why was Darvocet-N taken off the market?

"After a study found that the drugs put patients at risk of arrhythmias, or heart rhythm abnormalities, the FDA decided that the risks of the drugs were greater than their benefits to patients suffering from mild to moderate pain, so the drugs were withdrawn from the market."

Answered by AI

Do they still make Darvocet-N 100?

"Darvocet-N is a mix of a narcotic painkiller and a less strong painkiller, as well as a fever reducer. It is used to treat mild to moderate pain. The Darvocet-N brand is not available in the United States anymore, but there may be generic versions."

Answered by AI

What is Darvocet-N 100 used for?

"Darvocet-N, which contains propoxyphene napsylate and acetaminophen, is used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Because it is a strong opioid pain medicine that can be abused by people who abuse prescription medicines or street drugs, it is a federally controlled substance (C-IV)."

SBS-147 Safety Study

18 - 55
All Sexes
Cypress, CA

This study is part of the HEAL Initiative supported by the NIH. The purpose of this study is to learn how safe the study drug, SBS-147, is and how people's bodies respond to and process it. Researchers will also look for any side effects that may occur when taking SBS-147. Some participants will receive SBS-147, and others will receive a placebo, which looks the same but does not contain any medicine. This helps researchers fairly compare results. The study includes two parts: Single-Dose Group, where Participants receive SBS-147 or placebo one time. Multiple-Dose Group, where Participants receive SBS-147 or placebo once or twice daily for 7 days.

Guided Imagery Therapy for Abdominal Pain

7 - 12
All Sexes
Austin, TX

Chronic abdominal pain is common among children, and the majority of cases are attributed to functional abdominal pain disorders. One approach to treating these disorders is by using psychological therapies. This clinical trial aims to see how well pre-recorded guided imagery therapy sessions help children's abdominal pain when delivered via a mobile application (app) on a smartphone or tablet. Participants will complete a baseline abdominal pain and stooling diary to determine eligibility, as well as other surveys. Eligible participants will be given access to the guided imagery therapy mobile application. This intervention asks participants to listen to a 10- to 15-minute GIT session 5 out of 7 days per week for 8 weeks, in addition to their usual care for their abdominal pain. Then, participants will complete another abdominal pain and stooling diary, along with other psychometric surveys, at the end of this intervention period. Participants will also collect another diary and surveys 3 months post-treatment.
