: Trial Lawyer Resource CenterDarvon and Darvocet/Propoxyphene Recall News November 19, 2010
By Mark Zamora
The FDA has asked that propoxyphene, (brand names Darvon and Darvocet, Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals) be removed from the US market. The decision will also affect generic manufacturers and the makers of propoxyphene-containing products.
Dr. Sidney Wolfe of the Public Citizen's Health Research Group said it was too little, too late, noting that Britain banned the drug six years ago.
"Due to FDA negligence, at least 1,000 to 2,000 or more people in the United States have died from using propoxyphene since the time the U.K. ban was announced," Wolfe said in a statement.
"Our February 2006 petition to the FDA to ban the drug, following the U.K. ban announcement, did not even result in an FDA advisory committee hearing until we had sued the agency in 2008 to force them to respond to our petition."
An FDA advisory committee split on whether to ban the drug in 2009. The European Medicines Agency pulled it from the market in June 2009.
