Are these drugs of abuse?
Propoxyphene Napsylate/acetamiphen is the generic form of the drug Darvocet-N and is a mild narcotic analgesics prescribed for the relief of mild to moderate pain, with or without fever. It can deffinitely be used abusively. It is a narcotic. It can be habit forming. Is a prescription only drug - and it is illegal to have it without a prescription.
500 mg. acetomiphen - doubt it.
Acetaminophen is the same thing as
Tylenol. But what does he think they are? That would be the question I would ask.
Meclizine/Antivert an antihistamine for vertigo, nausea. Meclizine can cause drowsiness. Alcohol, sedatives, and tranquilizers can increase the drowsiness of meclizine . So, yes, it is possible. Taken in higher than therapeutic doses with the intent of causing the side effect of drowsiness would be considered abuse really.
Egg shaped yellow & white, par and 035 - is Meclizine as well. 25mg pill. And again, without a RX, it is illegal for the child to have these at all - whether they are being used abusively or not. It would still be considered "possession of a controlled substance."
Honestly, a child or teen having ANY prescription medication that isn't prescribed to them is troubling. It could very well be he thought it was something other than what it really is too. I have seen plenty of junior high and high school age kids taking or selling OTC meds believing they were narcotics or passing them off as other medications too. If it were my kid I would definitely be concerned.
