 On November 17, 2010 the U.S. Food & Drug Administration(FDA) issued a recall of the popular painkillers Darvon and Darvocet. The FDA panel concluded that all painkillers which contain propxyphene pose an unreasonable risk to consumers. The FDA has instructed Xanodyne, the manufacturer of Darvon and Darvocet to stop selling the drug.
Scientific studies have revealed that even when Darvon or Darvocet are taken at prescribed dosages, they can significantly alter the electrical activity of the heart. The result in abnormal heart rhythms known as cardiac arrhythmia, heart attack and sudden death.
