Darvocet contains a combination of propoxyphene and acetaminophen. Propoxyphene is in a group of drugs called narcotic pain relievers. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever and a fever reducer that increases the effects of propoxyphene.

Darvocet is used to relieve mild to moderate pain with or without fever.

Pemetrexed injection is used alone or together with other medicines (eg, carboplatin, cisplatin, pembrolizumab) to treat non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread, or has not progressed after a previous platinum-based cancer treatment, or that has come back. It is also used together with cisplatin to treat malignant pleural mesothelioma (cancer that affects the inside lining of the lungs and chest wall) that cannot be removed by surgery. Pemetrexed belongs to the group of medicines called antineoplastics.

Pemetrexed is given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor.
