Ohio Darvocet Side Effect Attorney
Propoxyphene is a family of synthetic drugs used for treating mild to moderate pain. Introduced in the United States in 1957, the drug quickly became one of the leading prescribed medications. Over the subsequent years, however, studies began to prove that over-use of brand products such as Darvon and Darvocet, as well as over-the-counter painkillers such as Tylenol, can result in addiction, serious heart conditions, severe depression and accidental death.

Does It Matter That Darvon and Darvocet Have Received FDA Approval?
The FDA puts pharmaceuticals and medical products through rigorous tests prior to approving the products for consumer use in the Unites States. But FDA approval does not mean the manufacturer or physician does not maintain responsibility for product safety. If your doctor failed to warn you of the full potential for danger and possible medical injury, you may be entitled to seek compensation for your damages associated with the negligence.
