Propoxyphene
Presentation
- The degradation of norpropoxyphene presents a challenge for its analytical quantitation, and methods for circumventing these issues are presented.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The successful use of thioridazine in the treatment of a propoxyphene dependent patient is presented. The drug controlled the craving and anxiety associated with the stepwise reduction of the propoxyphene.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A baby with neonatal withdrawal from propoxyphene as evidenced by severe diarrhea, flapping tremors, shrill cry, diaphoresis, hypertonicity, and seizures is presented.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Three cases are presented of patients who experienced potentiation of propoxyphene's effects by different antihistamines.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- At present, increased caution by prescribing physicians is indicated. Patients now taking the drug should be carefully monitored for signs of abuse or dependence.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Rhinitis
- These consisted of anorexia, rhinitis, and fatigue, followed by irritability and insomnia. Vomiting developed by the end of 48 hr of abstinence. Propoxyphene was then reinstituted, and within 24 hr the patient was asymptomatic.[annals.org]
- Withdrawal is characterized by rhinitis , myalgia , abdominal cramping, and occasional diarrhea.[rxlist.com]

Gastrointestinal
Food Poisoning
- Contraindicated in patients with diarrhea, food poisoning, who are taking sodium oxybate (GHB) and hypersensitivity. The recommended adult dose is 1-2 tablets every 4 hours as needed for relief of pain.[medindia.net]

Skin
Hyperhidrosis
- Abstract Hyperhidrosis is a condition affecting the spinal cord injured (SCI) patient that often does not respond well to medical management.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
Dysthymic Disorder
- The screening psychiatric diagnostic interview (SCID) indicated that she had current dysthymic disorder, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, and a past diagnosis of depression.[doi.org]
Workup
Central Venous Pressure
Decreased Central Venous Pressure
- All patients responded with increased systolic arterial blood pressure, increased urinary output and decreased central venous pressure.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Rhythm
Torsades De Pointes
- Search terms for opioids, NSAIDs, acetaminophen and other analgesics were used (including both generic and brand names), along with QTc, QTc prolongation, QTc interval, hERG, torsades de pointes (TdP), ventricular arrhythmias, and other relevant terms[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other ECG Findings
Abnormal ECG
- In two out of three patients the initially abnormal ECGs normalised during treatment. It is concluded that dopamine seems suitable for reversal of propoxyphene induced circulatory failure.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
- The historical features, results of laboratory evaluations, and clinical course of a man with end-stage renal disease in whom hypoglycemia developed during treatment with propoxyphene are described.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Further investigation into the treatment of this condition with propoxyphene hydrochloride is indicated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- This treatment enabled patients to be rapidly weaned from the respirator.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The successful use of thioridazine in the treatment of a propoxyphene dependent patient is presented. The drug controlled the craving and anxiety associated with the stepwise reduction of the propoxyphene.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- What to Expect in Propoxyphene Treatment What happens in prescription drug treatment programs? Darvon and Darvocet addiction is treated like other types of opioid addiction.[promises.com]

Etiology
- There are various etiologies for hypoglycemia in patients with chronic renal failure, and its pathogenesis is complex. Concomitant use of medications is the most common cause.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
