Propoxyphene, Darvocet and Darvon Side Effects
Darvon, Darvocet and Propoxyphene have been linked to over 2,000 accidental deaths nationwide since 1981. It is thought that many of these deaths occurred because propoxyphene converts into a metabolite that is highly toxic to the heart and stays in the body for weeks, resulting in cardiac injuries.

For more than 50 years, the law firm of Aaron M. Levine & Associates, located in Washington, D.C., has helped people harmed by defective drugs obtain the compensation they deserve.

Darvocet Side Effects Lawyers
These pain-killing drugs have been linked to a substantial risk of severe and life-threatening side effects, including:
- Addiction
- Arrhythmia
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Heart failure
- Overdose
- Seizure
- Death
Studies show that, even when taken at recommended doses, these drugs can cause significant changes to the electrical activity of the heart. Darvocet blocks the potassium and sodium channels in the heart, which slow the heart muscle's rhythmic beats. This can lead to respiratory problems, convulsions and cardiac arrest.
