Darvocet and Soma

Darvocet^® (propoxyphene/acetaminophen) is a narcotic pain medication often prescribed to treat mild to moderate pain. A number of medicines can potentially interact with this narcotic. It is generally recommended that you do not combine Darvocet and Soma^® (carisoprodol), a muscle relaxant.

Taking Darvocet in combination with any other medications that cause drowsiness (including muscle relaxants) can increase your risk of side effects, such as confusion, memory loss, or difficulty breathing. Other serious side effects, such as dangerously low blood pressure, may also occur. It is important that you talk to your healthcare provider before taking this medication with Soma.
