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.

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risks of the drugs were greater than their benefits to patients suffering from mild to moderate pain, so the drugs were withdrawn from the market."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)."
