Narcotic Analgesics and Aspirin (Systemic)
Brand name(s): Damason-P
Description
Combination medicines containing narcotic analgesics (nar-KOT-ik an-al-JEE-zicks) and aspirin (AS-pir-in) are used to relieve pain. A narcotic analgesic and aspirin used together may provide better pain relief than either medicine used alone. In some cases, relief of pain may come at lower doses of each medicine.
Narcotic analgesics act in the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain. Many of their side effects are also caused by actions in the CNS. When narcotics are used for a long time, your body may get used to them so that larger amounts are needed to relieve pain. This is called tolerance to the medicine. Also, when narcotics are used for a long time or in large doses, they may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence). Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking the medicine.
Aspirin does not become habit-forming when taken for a long time or in large doses, but it may cause other unwanted effects if too much is taken.
In the U.S., these medicines are available only with your medical doctor's or dentist's prescription. In Canada, some strengths of aspirin, codeine, and caffeine combination are available without a prescription.
These medicines are available in the following dosage forms:
- Aspirin, Caffeine, and Dihydrocodeine

At this site it says the shelf life is 3 years. Hope that helps.

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......
But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:

Nor-QD
Hi Liz,
I have a history of blood clots too (some sort of gene thing) and I've never heard of being put on Norethindrone for birth control (though I am on it for Endometriosis, and its caused Acne, weight gaina and a full face).
For the clotting, I have to take a full aspirin a day and when pregnant, I will be considered "high risk" but will only have to take one heparain shot a day. I can't image that you can't have kids just because of the clotting issue, but maybe your condition is more serious than mine (I actually got a massive clot in my leg while traveling to asia and it shut down 60% of my lungs before they caught it, but not I'm mostly better).
Sorry I can'be of more help and best of luck.
Sarah
