No Darvocet (acetaminophen and propoxyphene) does not contain codeine.
Darvocet is not known as percocet, (percocet is oxycodone) and is also a 1/4 of the strength of codeine. It is also more closely related to Demerol then codeine. It would take 2 darvocet 100 to even match the strength of one hydrocodone.
"sulfa allergy" is a term used to describe adverse drug reactions to sulfonamides, a group of drugs that includes those with and without antibiotic characteristics. Darvocet is not a part of the sulfonamides group.
can I take darvocet if am allergic to codeine?
It does not contain codeine but dose contain acetaminophen! == It does contain Dextropropoxyphene which is an opioid (a synthetic opiate like codeine).
Type your answer here... no
yes
They are similar in strength, some people feel Codeine works better.
no darvocet has propoxyphene in it which is even a shittier opiate than codeine and it is way worse for you stay away from the darvs
If you are asking about the drug propoxyphene, the answer is no, there is no codeine in this product and there should also be no cross allergies if you have a history of a codeine allergy. Common brand names for this drug are Darvon and Darvocet.
other options are Tylenol with codeine, darvocet, percocet...
No. Darvocet is a pain relieving drug, not anti-inflammatory. Darvocet contains codeine, which is meant to relieve pain, not so much for inflammation. See if you can get some 800mg Motrin instead. Even for a pain reliever, Darvocet isn't very strong....seems to work well as a mild pain reliever for females though.
It has been posted that tramadol or codeine will replace darvocet, however, for people like myself who are already taking tramadol in conjunction with darvocet it will be a looming question for the doctor. Darvocet is a schedule IV drug and has been considered less addictive as drugs such a loritab which is a schedule II drug. All I can say if I am disappointed because the darvocet worked wonders for me. Now I am in the process of talking to the doctor for a replacement.

No, Darvocet* is a brand name* * for a propoxyphene compounded drug. It is a controlled substance, available legally only by prescription. A lot of physicians just wont presecribe it at all because it is highly adictive. And many say that it just does not do the job, and that better products with fewer possible consequences are available. (Still it is a steady producer for Eli Lilly; all physicians are not in agreement.) Propoxyphene is related to codeine and hydrocodone, but it is not the same. *Darvocet is a product belonging to Eli Lilly and Company. It contains other substances than just propoxyphene; it comes in various doses, sizes and shapes. See the link discussing Darvocet and associates. ** Darvocet and several combinations are brand names of Eli Lilly. Propoxyphene is a generic drug; however, Darvocet is a particular product, with a particular shape, combination and packaging. Darvocet and its variations belongs to Eli Lilly and Company.
Yes, Darvocet (propoxyphene) can be used as an analgesic after surgical procedures. However, most studies on analgesic potency indicate that codeine-containing products (as Tylenol #3) or hydrocodone products (Lortab, Vicodin) are more effective at pain control.
What is Darvocet?
I would say that taking 1 2mg Dilaudid pill is equivalent to 10 mg of Morphine. Which is basically like taking 40 Tylenol 3's. Dilaudid is the strongest painkiller available, while T 3's would be the weakest. Hope this helps, not a Dr. but know about painkillers.
if its the most common form of darvocet (darvocet n-100) then it has 100mg of propoxyphene and 650 mg of acetaminophen (tylenol) what is in darvocet and how compatible is to percocet
