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.

Is Darvocet an anti-inflammatory drug?
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.
Since Darvocet has been banned what will doctors replace it with?
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.

Does Darvocet contain codeine or hydrocodone?
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.

What is stronger Tylenol 3 or Dilaudid 2mg?
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.
