Darvon/Darvocet
Darvon and Darvocet are name brands of the pain killer dextropropoxyphene. In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration prohibited the sale of these drugs in the U.S. because of the sometimes fatal side effects that the drugs may have.
Unfortunately, Darvon and Darvocet were on the market for several years, allowing them to harm countless individuals. If you or someone you love suffered harm after taking the pain killers Darvon or Darvocet, contact the legal class action lawyers of Feazell & Tighe, LLP, today at 877-508-0588.
Darvon/Darvocet Side Effects
Individuals who had issues with minor, lingering pain were often prescribed Darvon or Darvocet to treat these problems. The medication also provided minor cough relief and was used as a local anesthetic. These effects, however, are outweighed by Darvon and Darvocet’s side effects, which include:
- Heart Arrhythmia
- Cardiac Arrest
- Wrongful Death
When these effects became well known, the medication lost popularity. When the FDA decided it was no longer a safe option for individuals, the drugs were banned from being marketed. Individuals who took Darvon or Darvocet before the ban may still be entitled to financial compensation for their injuries.
