Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Darvocet contains a combination of propoxyphene and acetaminophen. Propoxyphene is a narcotic pain relievers.
Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever and a fever reducer that increases the effects of propoxyphene.
Darvocet is used to relieve mild to moderate pain with or without fever.
This combination has been probably discontinued.
You can try the same combination, if available as Propacet.
If not, you can consult Physician and take prescription of better drugs to treat your injury.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
