(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 15, 2010 ) New York, NY – New clinical data, which prompted a Darvon and Darvocet recall, has shown that the pain medication propoxyphene puts patients at risk for serious or potentially fatal heart rhythm abnormalities. The data indicates that even when taken in proper doses, the drug can significantly alter the electrical activity of the heart. These changes can increase the patient’s chances of serious heart rhythm abnormalities, which may lead to adverse events, including sudden death or heart attack. If you or a loved one has suffered Darvon heart problems, including cardiac arrest or irregular heartbeats, Class Action.org has valuable information on your legal rights. Visit http://www.classaction.org/darvon-and-darvocet.html today to learn more about the Darvon and Darvocet recall and to receive a free online case review.
On Nov. 19, Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, which manufactures two brand name versions of propoxyphene, agreed to issue a Darvocet and Darvon recall. The FDA sought the recall of propoxyphene-containing drugs after concluding that the drugÂ’s effectiveness in treating pain no longer outweighed the cardiac side effects of Darvocet and Darvon. Since 1978, the FDA has received two requests to issue a propoxyphene recall, but, until now, cited the drugÂ’s pain relief benefits in justifying its continued presence on the market.
If you or a loved one has required the use of a pacemaker, suffered a heart attack or experienced other Darvocet heart problems while taking the drug, you may have legal recourse in light of the recent market withdrawal of Darvon and Darvocet.
