As a Fort Worth Darvon Darvocet Product Recall Attorney we are providing this update. The FDA announced that it has requested manufacturers of propoxyphene, brand name Darvon, Darvocet and its generic equivalents, be withdrawn from the market due to serious and fatal heart risks.
Recent clinical data has shown that patients who take propoxyphene are at risk of fatal heart arrhythmia. This study showed that, even when taken at recommended doses, propoxyphene causes significant changes to the electrical activity of the heart visible on an electrocardiogram (EKG). These changes in electrical activity can increase the risk for abnormal heart rhythms linke
Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc, the maker of brand name Darvon and Darvocet, has agreed to withdraw the drug from the U.S. market and the FDA has notified manufacturers of generic propoxyphene products of Xanodyne’s decision, requesting they do the same.
