What is Darvocet?
Darvocet contains a combination of acetaminophen and propoxyphene. Propoxyphene belongs to a group of drugs called narcotic pain relievers. Acetaminophen is comparatively a less potent pain reliever and a fever reducer that induces the propoxyphene effects.
Darvocet helps relieve pain from moderate to mild fever or without fever.
Important Information
Avoid taking Darvocet if you are allergic to propoxyphene or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Propoxyphene may be a habit-forming drug and should be used only by someone under a doctor’s prescription. Never share Darvocet with someone else, especially someone with a past of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medicine out of reach of others.
Tell the doctor if you consume more than three alcoholic beverages every day or have ever had cirrhosis (alcoholic liver disease). If so, you may be unable to take a medicine that contains acetaminophen.
What to know before taking Darvocet?
Do not use Darvocet if you were recently using an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days, such as:
- Isocarboxazid (Marplan),
- Furazolidone (Furoxone),
- Rasagiline (Azilect),
- Phenelzine (Nardil),
- Tranylcypromine (Parnate), or
- Selegiline (Emsam, Eldepryl, Zelapar)
To ensure Darvocet is safe for you, tell each of your medical healthcare providers if you have ever had:
- Liver or kidney disease;
- Asthma, sleep apnea, COPD- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or other breathing problems;
- A pancreas or gallbladder disorder;
- A past of brain tumor or head injury;
- Suicidal behavior or thoughts;

It is still unknown whether Darvocet will harm an unborn baby or not, but it could cause withdrawal symptoms or breathing problems in a newborn baby. Inform the doctor about your pregnancy or your plan to conceive during the treatment. Propoxyphene and acetaminophen can pass into breast milk and may prove harmful for a nursing baby. Talk to your medical health care professional before using Darvocet if you are breastfeeding a nursing baby.
How to take Darvocet?
Take Darvocet precisely as per the doctor’s prescription. Read carefully and follow all the directions on the prescription label and medication guides. Please do not take it in smaller or larger amounts or for longer than prescribed. If Darvocet is not working well enough to relieve your pain or stops working in between the treatment, the doctor is not working well enough.
Do not suddenly stop taking Darvocet, or you could face unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Take your doctor’s help to avoid withdrawal symptoms while you stop taking this medicine.
If you need surgery, inform your surgeon before using Darvocet or propoxyphene, or acetaminophen. Your surgeon may recommend you stop taking this medicine for a while.
