Drug Facts
|
The propoxyphene in these drugs slows down the central nervous system and intensifies the effects of alcohol. Heavy use of alcohol with this drug may cause overdose symptoms. Therefore, limit or avoid use of alcohol while you are taking this medication.
Darvocet binds to the pain receptors in the brain so that the sensation of pain is reduced.
Extreme overdose may lead to unconsciousness and death.
Darvocet is a centrally acting narcotic analgesic agent. It works by changing the way your body feels pain.

Darvocet
Overdose
A
Darvocet overdose happens when you consume more Darvocet than your body can
safely handle. Darvocet abusers are constantly flirting with a Darvocet overdose,
and the difference between the high they're seeking and serious injury or death
is often quite small. A Darvocet overdose is deadly because it can happen so
quickly. In
fact, one study has shown that 20 percent of fatal Darvocet overdoses occur
in the first hour after ingestion of the drug. An
extreme overdose of Darvocet may lead to unconsciousness and death. When an
individual experiences an overdose from Darvocet it may be difficult to determine
the amount they have taken, due to loss of memory caused by the overdosage.
Due to this fact, the individual who is suffering from an overdose from Darvocet
must receive emergency attention immediately.
Darvocet overdose is characterized
by slowed breathing, extreme drowsiness progressing to stupor or coma, limp
muscles, or cold, clammy skin. Severe Darvocet overdose may result in death
due to cardiac arrest or stopped breathing. A Darvocet overdose can result in
severe liver poisoning due to the acetaminophen in Darvocet. An overdose of
acetaminophen may not show symptoms for two to four days, but must be treated
within twenty-for hours to prevent liver damage or death. Seek emergency medical
treatment immediately if you suspect an overdose.
Many cases of drug overdose
involving prescription medications such as Darvocet are related to mixing drugs
that accelerate each other's effects. Never mix a powerful medication like Darvocet
with another prescription drug that you or your physician suspect may not be
safe. Never mix Darvocet with over the counter medications that have not been
approved by your doctor or pharmacist, and avoid mixing it with street drugs
of any type. Ignoring drug interaction warnings has resulted in fatal overdose
in some patients.
