Dextropropoxyphene, which has been sold under the brand name Darvon among others, is a pain medication in the opioid category.[2] It has been used for pain but the benefits are similar to paracetamol (acetaminophine) and less than ibuprofen.[2][4] An equivalent amount has half the strength of codeine.[5] It is taken by mouth.[6] Onset of effects are within an hour and may last for up to 6 hours.[2]
Side effects may include heart arrhythmias, decreased breathing, and seizures.[7][2] It has a high risk of misuse and historically was a common cause of death from drug misuse.[2][8] Some effects may be reversed with naloxone.[9] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[2]
Dextropropoxyphene came into medical use in the United States in 1957.[2] It has subsequently been removed from the market in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and India.[7] While still available in Australia, there are restrictions as of 2014.[7] In the United Kingdom it is not avaliable to new patients.[9] It was generally sold as a combination medication with either paracetamol or aspirin.[2]
