Is Darvon Compound still on the market?

My Aunt is 88 years old. For years, Darvon Compound is the only medication that has provided her relief from migraine headaches. She used to say the generic did not provide the same relief. Recently, the pharmacy has told her this drug is no longer produced.
Her doctor has given her a prescription for plain Darvon and she has been sick ever since. I see Anacin has 32 mg of caffeine & 400 mg of aspirin which is 18 mg more of apirin than she is accustomed to. She has had 1/3 of her stomach removed 10 years ago due to an ulcer. Is there an enteric coated aspirin of 382 mg and a 32 mg caffeine combination she could take with her Darvon?
