Perhaps you misspoke; propoxyphene is an opioid. It is not an opiate, however. In other words, it is a synthetic mu opioid receptor agonist. Propoxyphene does have a potential for abuse and dependence. An overdose of propoxyphene can be very toxic, especially when combined with certain other drugs such as alcohol.
