Mylan Medications - Identify Your PillMylan 155What is Mylan 155? What kind of medication is the pill with MYLAN 155 written on its sides? If you have accidentally found such a pill somewhere under your sofa and wonder what it can be, we have all the information you need.  Mylan 155 is Darvocet-N 100.
It is a mild narcotic pain reliever. The film-coated oval oblong tablet colored pink to red, with MYLAN written on one side and 155 written on the other side contains Acetaminophen 650mg and Propoxyphene Napsylate 100mg. See also Mylan 1155. It is in the family of pain relievers, analgetics, anti-inflammatory drugs and fever reducers. Propoxyphene (or dextropropoxyphene) belongs to opioids. The other well-known and widely used drug in that group is codeine. Both can cause dependancy when abused and in patients addicted to opioids. However, propoxyphene is considered to be a rather weak opioid, relatively "safe" in comparison to the other ones in the group. It does not usually affect mind condition of the patients much, at the same time being effective in alleviating physical withdrawal effects (muscle cramps, etc). Acetaminophen is a milder pain reliever and a fever reducer that increases the effects of propoxyphene. In Mylan 155 Darvocet-N, Napsylate salt of Propoxyphene is used in the formulation. There can be found a different formulation of Darvocet - with Propoxyphene Hydrochloride (or dextropropoxyphene HCl), such as Mylan 130. Due to the fact that these salts have different molecular masses, the amount of Propoxyphene in both formulations is the same, though Mylan 155 contains 100mg of Propoxyphene (Napsylate) and Mylan 130 - only 65mg of Propoxyphene (Hydrochloride). Propoxyphene Napsylate is claimed to have less risk of abuse, as this salt is almost insoluble in water and, as a result, it cannot be injected. Moreover, Propoxyphene Napsylate gives lower peak blood level. Both features make Mylan 155, or Darvocet-N, more common than Mylan 130. CAUTION: You may take up to 1000mg of Acetaminophen at a time or up to 4000mg during the day. Larger doses are dangerously harmful for the liver. That means you should not take more than one Mylan 155 pill at a time, or six Mylan 155 pills during the day. You benefit directly when Mylan Generics are used in place of name-brand medicines. First, because you will be receiving a high quality medicine, and second, because Mylan Generics are generally more affordable. The manufacturing facilities of all pharmaceutical companies - those making name-brand drugs and those making equivalent alternatives - are routinely inspected by the FDA. These savings are the result of Mylan's good, old-fashioned, American competition. As you can well appreciate, when there is more than one company manufacturing and/or selling the same product, the competition generally results in cost savings for the consumer. This can without doubt be said about Mylan 155 that has become very popular recently.  However,
