Were you looking for information about Propoxyphene? Propoxyphen is a common misspelling of propoxyphene.
Propoxyphene (Darvon®, Darvon-N®) is a prescription pain medication approved for treating mild-to-moderate pain. It works in the brain and spinal cord, rather than directly at the site of the pain. This pain reliever comes in tablet or capsule form and is taken by mouth, usually every four hours as needed. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea.
