Darvon Lawsuit

Vanderhyde and Associates Law Firm is helping people and families who are suffering from injuries associated with the drug Darvon or Darvocet.

Propoxyphene is a medication used to treat mild to moderate pain.  Propoxophene is sold by prescription under various names such as Darvon or Darvocet.  After safety concerns were raised, the FDA formed an advisory committee to review available data. In July 2009, a boxed warning was added to the drug, alerting patients and health care professionals of the danger of overdose. At that time, the FDA also required Xanodyne to conduct a new safety study assessing unanswered questions about the effect of propoxyphene on the heart.  Now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced that Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (the maker of Darvon and Darvocet), has agreed to withdraw the medications from the U.S. market.



The FDA is advising health care professionals to stop prescribing propoxylene to their patients, and patients who are currently taking the drug should contact their health care professional as soon as possible to discuss switching to another pain medication therapy.
