There are 2 active ingredients in Vicodin and Darvocet. Vicodin has Hydrocodone and acetaminophen in it. Darvocet has Propoxyphene and acetaminophen. Vicodin is a much stronger analgesic than Darvocet. Huge difference!
Yes, in moderation, of course.
Darvocet is non addictive as it is not from the opium family like vicodin is.
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.
i may not be an expert, but, to me, it sounds like the color.
No. Darvocet contains the opioid propoxyphene napsylate and the non-narcotic analgesic acetaminophen (Tylenol). Ultram contains the drug tramadol.
Depakote is an anticonvulsant used for epilepsy, migraines and (mood stabilizer) for bipolar disorder. Darvocet is a strong painkiller which I believe is considered a narcotic.
Tramadol is prescribed for pain; Rimadyl is prescribed primarily to reduce inflammation, though it's believed to relieve some pain as well.
tramadol and ultracet contain the same ingredient tramadol. The difference is that ultacet contains 37 mgs of tramadol where tramadol contains 50 mgs of tramadol so tramadol is stronger then ultracet
You can find HCl suffix after many medicine contents. The difference is Tramadol HCl has a better bio availability than Tramadol, that means more portion of the medicine may be absorbed through the intestine. EXPLANATION: The stomach has an acidic environment. Tramadol HCl is a weak acid, so it will less ionize in acidic environment and only unionized molecules are absorbed through the gut. So Tramadol HCl is better at being absorbed through the gut than Tramadol.
Mixing prescription painkillers is not a smart idea. Contact your prescribing physician and they will determine the best way to alleviate your pain.
Tramadol is a drug used to treat pain that is severe and needs around-the-clock treatment. Codeine is a drug used to treat pain for a short period of time.
