feeling.
Dextropropoxyphene, like Codeine, is classified as a "week"
opioid. Codeine is more commonly used, however some individuals
(approximately 10·20% of the Caucasian population) are unable to
metabolize it, due to poor functioning of a hepatic enzyme
called CYP2D6. It is in these people that dextropropoxyphene is
particularly useful, and does not require CYP2D6 (as it is
metabolism
is via CYP3A4).
The maximum doses for the constituents of Proxyvil® Capsules
(constituents shown above) are as follows:
* Acetaminophen: 2-4 grams/day
* Dextro-Propoxyphene HCI : 390 mg/day
* Dextro-Propoxyphene Napsylate : 600 mg/day
* Dicyclomine : No available safety data for doses above 80
mg/day
Opioid Withdrawal
In pure form, Dextropropoxyphene is commonly used to ease the
withdrawal symptoms in people addicted to opioids. However,
being v
ery weak in comparison to those opioids which are commonly
abused, dextropropoxyphene can only act as a "partial"
substitute.
It does not have much effect or mental cravings; however it can
be effective in alleviating physical withdrawal effects such as
muscle cramps.
COMPOSITION Each PROXYVIL capsules contains:
Dicyclomine hydrochloride.....................10 mg
Acetaminophen...................................400 mg
Propoxyphene napsylate......................100 mg
PROXYVIL is a medicine belonging to the
antispasmodics class, used in treating functional bowel
disorders. The active substance in PROXYVIL is dicyloverine
which is a synthetic anticholinergic. Otherwise said, it reduces
spasms and cramps of the gastro-intestinal tract because it
inhibits the muscarinic receptors. A tablet of spasmo proxyvon
contains 10 mg of dicyclomine hydrochloride, 400 mg of
acetaminophen and 100 mg of proproxyphene napsylate.
PROXYVIL, just like any other medication, can have some side
effects and can interact with other drugs. The most common side
effects are not dangerous and can include nausea and dryness of
the mouth. Some people can also experience tachycardia,
arrhythmia, confusion, palpitations, etc. In case the
recommended dosage is exceeded, patients might experience
excitement, hallucination and even delirium. There were cases in
which PROXYVIL was used in recreational purposes. This is not at
all recommended and it can also cause addiction, besides the
potentially threatening consequences.
Spasmo-proxyvon is not recommended in breastfeeding women. In
what concerns pregnancy, studies on animals have not confirmed
any risk for the unborn baby and neither did studies on pregnant
women. However, this is not applicable to the first trimester of
pregnancy because risks are always higher during this period.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not take Proxyvil
capsules without the approval of their doctor. PROXYVIL can also
interfere with the ability to operate machineries or drive
vehicles.
Patients who were prescribed PROXYVIL have to inform their
doctors if they are taking any prescribed or over the counter
pills or if they were diagnosed with another medical condition.
For instance, PROXYVIL is not supposed to be prescribed in
patients with intestinal obstruction, glaucoma, reflux
oesophagitis, intestinal atony or myasthenia gravis. It also
can’t be used in infants younger than 6 months. People suffering
of diseases like hyperthyroidism, hypertension, urinary
retention, renal, kidney or heart failure should be very
cautious when taking PROXYVIL and should inform their doctor of
all the side effects or changes that they experience. Extra
precaution is also needed in children, elderly persons and
pregnant women.
PROXYVIL should always be taken in the dosage recommended by the
doctor and only for the amount of time that was indicated. If
the dosage is exceeded or if the pills are taken for a prolonged
period of time, addiction might occur. Those who develop
addiction would have a very difficult time in getting rid of it.
They will also need higher and higher doses of PROXYVIL in order
to obtain the same effect. In order to overcome PROXYVIL
addiction, specialized help might be needed. Withdrawal symptoms
might be pretty aggressive and dealing with them might prove
very difficult. It is best to avoid such problems better than to
solve them once the harm was done.
