Dextropropoxyphene is an analgesic in the opioid category. It is used to treat mild to moderate pain and as an antitussive. It can be used to ease pain before, during and after an operation. It is often combined with acetaminophen in the preparation co-proxamol (Darvocet in the US and CAPADEX in AUS).
It is an optical isomer of Levopropoxyphene. The racemic mixture is called Propoxyphene.
Some preparations that contain dextropropoxyphene include: Distalgesic and Doloxene.

If you mean propoxyphene/acetaminophen, it's one of two things...propoxyphene napsylate w/ acetaminophen is Darvocet, and propoxyphene HCl w/ acetaminophen is Wygesic, both are controlled narcotic painkillers
