Is Propoxyphene N-APAP 100/650(C), which is generic for Darvocet, considered a blood thinner?
You should check with your doctor’s office about the advisability of using any drug prior to your operation. (Hopefully they gave you a list of drugs you should not be taking.) None of the websites I checked out suggested that Darvocet had blood thinning properties. Its a (weak) opioid pain reliever. You shouldn’t take Darvocet if you are taking a blood thinner; this is because those brands of Darvocet with aspirin can cause stomach bleeding – which can be exacerbated by blood thinners. http://en.wikipedia.
