Darvon/Darvocet Lawyers
In November 2010 the FDA issued a formal request that all manufacturers of medications containing propoxyphene voluntarily withdrawal from the US market after decades of controversy surrounding this medicine. This includes the popular medications Darvon and Darvocet, two prescription painkillers manufactured by Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals. Darvon and Darvocet have been prescribed to patients across America since 1957 to treat severe pain. They contain the drug propoxyphene which has been linked to several serious side effects including dizziness, overdose and death. For many people that are taking or have taken Darvon or Darvocet, this warning comes several years too late.
