What is Propoxyphene?
Propoxyphene is an Opioid Pain Reliever (OPR) prescribed to people suffering from chronic pain. Additionally, it’s a cough suppresant. However, it was recalled in 2010 due to its potentially fatal side effects.
Regardless of its benefits, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) deemed it too risky as it can cause fatal heart disorders. Nowadays, however, the drug is still tested as a part of nonregulated panel testing.
The half-life of propoxyphene is anywhere from 8 hours to a whole day. It reaches its peak in 1 to 2 hours after oral administration.
Why Test for Propoxyphene?
Although propoxyphene is now banned in the US, it is still sold on the streets and in black markets. Unfortunately, overdosing on propoxyphene or combining it with other drugs can lead to fatalities. Thus, the need to test individuals who are presumed to be taking it is important as it might save his life.
