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Acetaminophen and propoxyphene was withdrawn from the U.S. market in November 2010.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Acetaminophen and propoxyphene was withdrawn from the U.S. market in November 2010.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


  • a history of head injury or brain tumor;




  • a gallbladder or pancreas disorder;




  • a stomach or intestinal disorder;




  • suicidal thoughts or behavior; or




  • mental illness, or a history of drug or alcohol addiction.



Tell your doctor if you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day or if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis). You may not be able to take medication that contains acetaminophen.

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. Do not stop using acetaminophen and propoxyphene suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using acetaminophen and propoxyphene. If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using acetaminophen and propoxyphene. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle.
