Introduction

Propoxyphene or Dextropropoxyphene is a narcotic analgesic compound with a structural similarity to methadone. It is prescribed in theUnited Statesfor the relief of moderate pain. DarvocetTM, one of the most common brand names for the drug, contains 50-100 mg of propoxyphene napsylate and 325-650 mg of acetaminophen. Physiological effects of propoxyphene include respiratory depression. Propoxyphene is metabolized in the liver to yield norpropoxyphene. Norpropoxyphene has a longer half-life (30 to 36 hours) than that of propoxyphene (6 to 12 hours). Norpropoxyphene demonstrates substantially less central-nervous system depression than propoxyphene, but shows a greater local anesthetic effect.
