Abstract
1 Dextropropoxyphene has been increasingly prescribed as an analgesic in the UK, chiefly in the form of Distalgesic (dextropropoxyphene hydrochloride 32.5 mg and paracetamol 325 mg per tablet). After reports of sudden deaths from the misuse of this combination, prescribing is declining.Keywords
