FDA takes Darvocet, Darvon off the market over risk of fatal heart irregularities. Millions of Americans affected.

The Ohio Darvocet, Darvon recall attorneys at Elk & Elk know the facts and have the resources to help.

Propoxyphene risk of heart irregularities
After spending more than 50 years on pharmacy shelves around the world, propoxyphene – the active ingredient in prescription painkillers Darvon, Darvocet and their generic forms – was found recently to put people taking them at risk of serious, even fatal heart rhythm abnormalities, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports.

Our Ohio Darvon, Darvocet recall attorneys have learned that, as a result, on Nov. 19, the FDA requested manufacturer Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to withdraw its two propoxyphene-containing painkillers, Darvon and Darvocet, from the U.S. market. Manufacturers of the generic forms of these drugs were also notified by the FDA, Elk & Elk's lawyers for Darvocet recall in Ohio also learned.

Elk & Elk's Ohio Darvon recall attorneys are here to help whether you're now taking propoxyphene, you've taken it in the past, and you've been diagnosed with heart problems, or you know someone who has. Our Ohio propoxyphene recall attorneys have more than 45 years experience representing hardworking, honest Ohioans protect their rights and holding the makers of dangerous drugs responsible when their products injure people.

The FDA first approved propoxyphene in 1957 and reports about 10 million patients in 2009 had prescriptions for Darvon and similar drugs. Elk & Elk's Ohio Darvon recall lawyers, along with numerous consumer advocacy groups feel the FDA put millions more at risk by delaying this recall, especially because safety concerns over propoxyphene have spanned decades.

If you or someone you know has experienced heart problems after taking Darvon, Darvocet or any medication containing propoxyphene and has a history of heart difficulty and are looking for a lawyer for Darvocet recall in Ohio, look no further, our experienced and sympathetic Ohio Darvon recall lawyers are here to help 24/7/365.
