Propoxyphene (dextropropoxyphene Darvon) is structurally related to methadone but is much less potent as an analgesic. Compared with codeine, propoxyphene is approximately half as potent and is indicated for the treatment of mild pain. It is not antipyretic or antiinflammatory like aspirin and is less useful than aspirin in most cases of mild pain. Toxicity from propoxyphene, especially in combination with other sedatives, such as alcohol, has led to a decrease in its use. Death following ingestion of alcohol in combination with propoxyphene can occur rapidly (within 20 minutes to 1 hour). The drug is not indicated for those with histories of suicide or depressive illnesses.

One such drug is propoxyphene (Darvon), a prescription analgesic widely used in recent years. Sometimes it is combined with aspirin and caffeine to make it more effective. Despite enthusiastic claims of its manufacturer, most doctors and patients have found Darvon to be not much more effective than aspirin (Some even feel that when it is combined with aspirin, it is the aspirin that Joes most of the work.) Besides, the abuse potential of Darvon IS of the same sort as that of the strong narcotic analgesics, ft took some time for doctors to acknowledge the existence of Darvon abuse, but they are now very familiar with it and much more cautious about dispensing the drug.
