Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry was used to investigate the compatibility of propoxyphene HCl-aspirin and propoxyphene HCl-acetaminophen solid mixtures. It was found that the interaction of propoxyphene HCl with aspirin and acetaminophen caused an eutectic mixture. Acetaminophen and propoxyphene HCl showed no degradation in the eutectic mixtures as detected by high performance liquid chromatography.
