RSS Darvocet Drug Rehab
What is Darvocet and what does it treat?
The names Darvocet and Darvon are the brands that the drug dextropropoxyphene is manufactured under. It is classified as an analgesic opioid and is typically prescribed for one of the following reasons:
- cough suppressant (antitussive)
- local anesthesia
- mild pain
- relieving restless leg syndrome (or RLS) symptoms
The drug, like codeine, is considered as being a weaker opioid. However, recreational use of Darvocet can lead to physical and psychological dependency and eventually addiction. Ironically, dextropropoxyphene is oftentimes prescribed to ease the withdrawal symptoms of individuals who have gotten addicted to opioids.
