Darvocet, Depakote and Darvon are made up of a compound of acetaminophen and propoxyphene, prescribed to control severe pain. In 2010, the makers of Darvocet, Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals Inc, voluntarily removed Darvocet from the market when the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the use of propoxyphene in the United States. Some of the serious and unforeseen side effects of these products include a slow heartbeat, chest pain and shortness of breath, seizures, and severe nausea.
Voluntary or forced recall of a defective drug — even if the drug was originally approved by the FDA — does not relieve the manufacturer or doctors from liability for damages paid to people who have suffered a medical injury by using the medication.
