Use of analgesics in France, following dextropropoxyphene withdrawal. In 2009, the European Medicines Agency recommended withdrawal of dextropropoxyphene (DXP); in March 2011 it was withdrawn from the market in France. Up until that time the combination dextropropoxyphene-paracetamol (DXP/PC) was widely used for analgesia. At withdrawal, French regulators recommended that DXP/PC be replaced
Perceptions of French general practitioners and patients regarding dextropropoxyphene withdrawal: a qualitative study. Dextropropoxyphene (DXP), a step 2 analgesic commonly prescribed in France, was withdrawn from the French market in 2011 following a European decision due to its poor risk-benefit ratio. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of French general practitioners
Trials and tribulations in the removal of dextropropoxyphene from the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. • The Therapeutic Goods Administration determined in November 2011 that dextropropoxyphene should be removed from the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. This is consistent with this drug's removal from the market in many other developed countries. • However, dextropropoxyphene

these studies is in question because the dextropropoxyphene combination analgesic agents used are no longer in general use. Very low-certainty evidence means we are uncertain of the findings of no differences between the two interventions in the numbers with little or no pain at day one (51 participants, 1 study), day three (149 participants, 2 studies), or day seven (138 participants, 2 studies); swelling
. Tramadol became the best-selling opioid in France after dextropropoxyphene (combined with paracetamol) was withdrawn from the market due to its lethal risks. Tramadol is the analgesic most implicated in unintentional overdose. Tramadol, along with morphine, is the opioid most implicated in fatal accidental overdoses

One RCT (68 patients, mixed injuries): Naproxen 1100 mg/day statistically reduced swelling ~6% versus dextropropoxyphene (Darvon™) at three days. One RCT (86 patients, ankle sprain): Diclofenac 150 mg/day statistically worse swelling ~8% versus acetaminophen at three days.2 Limitations: Groups treated
