Brand Names: Balacet, Darvocet A500, Darvocet-N 100, Darvocet-N 50, Propacet 100

What is Darvocet A500 (acetaminophen and propoxyphene)?

Acetaminophen and propoxyphene was withdrawn from the U.S. market in November 2010.

Propoxyphene is in a group of drugs called narcotic pain relievers.

Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever and a fever reducer that increases the effects of propoxyphene.

The combination of acetaminophen and propoxyphene is used to relieve mild to moderate pain with or without fever.

Acetaminophen and propoxyphene may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Darvocet A500 (acetaminophen and propoxyphene)?

Acetaminophen and propoxyphene was withdrawn from the U.S. market in November 2010.

Propoxyphene may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. Do not use acetaminophen and propoxyphene if you have taken an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. Serious, life threatening side effects can occur if you use acetaminophen and propoxyphene before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Darvocet A500 (acetaminophen and propoxyphene)?

Do not use this medication if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or propoxyphene. Propoxyphene may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Never share this medication with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it. Do not use acetaminophen and propoxyphene if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

To make sure you can safely take acetaminophen and propoxyphene, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:

• 
  

  asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;

  
  


• liver or kidney disease;


•

An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver. Adults should not take more than 1 gram (1000 mg) of acetaminophen per dose or 4 grams (4000 mg) per day. If you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day, you should never use more than 2 grams (2000 mg) of acetaminophen per day.

Generic Name: brompheniramine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine (BROM fen IR a meen, DYE fen HYE dra meen, FEN il EFF rin)

What is brompheniramine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine?

Brompheniramine and diphenhydramine are antihistamines that reduce the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

The combination of brompheniramine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Check the label to see if a medicine contains an antihistamine or decongestant.
