| In contrast to the pharmaceutical products derived from opium, synthetic narcotics are produced entirely within the laboratory. The continuing search for products that retain the analgesic properties of morphine without the consequent dangers of tolerance and dependence has yet to yield a product that is not abused. Introduced as an analgesic in the 1930s, meperidine produces effects that are similar to morphine. Currently it is used for pre-anesthesia and the relief of moderate to severe pain. Meperidine is available in tablets, syrups, and injectable forms under generic and brand names Demerol and Mepergan. A close relative of methadone, dextropropoxyphene was first marketed in 1957 under the trade name of Darvon. Dextropropoxyphene is prescribed for relief of mild to moderate pain. More than 150 tons of dextropropoxyphene are produced in the United States annually, and more than 25 million prescriptions are written for the products. This narcotic is associated with a number of toxic side effects and is among the top 10 drugs reported by medical examiners in drug abuse deaths. |
