WHAT DOES PROPOXYPHENE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dextropropoxyphene

Dextropropoxyphene is an analgesic in the opioid category, patented and manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company. It is intended to treat mild pain and also has antitussive and local anaesthetic effects. The drug has been taken off the market in Europe and the US due to concerns of fatal overdoses and heart arrhythmias. Its onset of analgesia is said to be 20-30 minutes and peak effects are seen about 1.5-2 hours after oral administration. Dextropropoxyphene is sometimes combined with paracetamol or aspirin. Trade names include Darvocet-N and Di-Gesic, Darvon with APAP and Darvon with ASA. The British approved name of the paracetamol/dextropropoxyphene preparation is "co-proxamol"; however, it has been withdrawn since 2007, and is no longer available to new patients. The paracetamol combination are known as Capadex or Di-Gesic in Australia, Lentogesic in South Africa, and Di-Antalvic in France. Dextropropoxyphene is known under several synonyms, including: ▪ Alpha-d-4-dimethylamino-3-methyl-1,2-diphenyl-2-butanol propionate ▪ propanoate ▪ -1,2-Diphenyl-2-propionoxy- 3-methyl-4-di-methylaminobutane ▪ Desoxypropiophen...
