Hi. Could someone tell me the difference between Hydro 7.5/750 as compared to proproxephene 10/650. My Dr. just switched the medication. Which is stronger? Thanks for any help.




Hello. Just thought I'd mention there is no 10/650.
I believe it is 100/650. I'm speaking of Darvocet.

Darvocet is as a rule a weak analgesic about as potent as the acetimenophen it contains. You need to careful of your APAP intake (acetimenophen) when on this drug.
6 Darvocet = 3900mg of APAP.

The napsylate at 100mg is the approx equivalent of 65mg of the HCI. The only difference is weight. And the fact that Darvocet comes with APAP where Darvon is plain.

Propoxyphene is metabolized to norpropxyphene- it's been awhile since I read it, I'm stating on memory and may have misspelled the metabolite. The metabolite builds up in your system and can become a problem especially in elderly people.

Good Luck.
