Comments on: Darvon and Darvocet Recall Not Issued by FDA Despite Recommendations http://www.youhavealawyer.com/blog/2009/07/08/darvon-and-darvocet-recall-not-issued/ Malpractice, Personal Injury & Accident Lawyers Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:38:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Shirley http://www.youhavealawyer.com/blog/2009/07/08/darvon-and-darvocet-recall-not-issued/#comment-3185 Shirley Tue, 14 Dec 2010 05:10:02 +0000 http://www.youhavealawyer.com/blog/?p=945#comment-3185 Seriously, who in this day and age that has ever been prescribed any medication - precscription or OTC - does not understand that there are potential side effects? Is that not why there are laws requiring a doctor's prescription for specific medications...aside from two of the most addictive and harmful drugs alcohol and tobacco? I know that's a different branch of the government and I admit, I have used Darvocet safely for over 30 years...it's the only thing that manages my chronic pain without doping me into oblivion. Tylenol alone does not help me and I, like numerous others can no longer take aspirin, advil, alleve because they cause bleeding problems. My guess is that this has more to do with money and lawsuits than it has to do with protecting the public.

Is there anything else you would like off the market that helps with pain? I use painkillers sparingly, but do need them and many do not work. People who abuse these drugs make the rest of the population suffer and have to do without. Perhaps closer monitoring of quantities by the pharmacies and doctors would eliminate some of these problems. I personally have a contract with my physician that I will limit the use, and in two years have not broken that contract. First Vioxx, now Darvocet.

It is not near as dangerous as Oxycontin or Lortab. The FDA needs to pull their head out of their butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't the good outweigh the bad?
