Fioricet is the brand name of a combination drug
thats used for the treatment of headaches that
can include tension headaches, headaches from
muscle contractions and post-dural puncture
headaches. While not an official indication,
Fioricet is also often given to treat migraines
and other causes of pain.

  • Some of the potential side effects of Fioricet
    include
  • Drowsiness
  • Dizziness
  • Feeling restless or anxious
  • Feeling drunk or intoxicated
  • Sleep problems

4
Only take fioricet oral capsule or tablet as
directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it,
do not take it more often, and do not take it
longer than your physician has ordered. It can
become habit-forming and cause mental or physical
dependence if too much of this medicine is taken
for a long period of time.
5
Fioricet medication is used to treat tension
headaches. Acetaminophen helps to decrease the
pain from the headache. Caffeine helps increase
the effects of acetaminophen. Butalbital is a
sedative that helps to decrease anxiety and cause
sleepiness and relaxation.
Take this medication by mouth with or without
food as directed by your doctor, usually every 4
hours as needed. If you are using the liquid form
of this medication, carefully measure the dose
using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not
use a household spoon because you may not get the
correct dose. The dosage is based on your medical
condition, age, and response to treatment.
6
Take this medication exactly as prescribed to
lower the risk of addiction. Ask your doctor or
pharmacist for more details. Tell your doctor if
you notice increased use of this medication, a
worsening of headaches, an increase in the number
of headaches, the medication not working as well,
or use of this medication for more than 2
headache episodes a week.
7
Fiorinal and Fioricet both contain butalbital,
which is a barbiturate, and caffeine plus an
analgesic. The difference between these two
medications is that Fiorinal contains aspirin,
and Fioricet contains acetaminophen, which is
known as Tylenol.
Many other drugs taken in excess can cause a
medication overuse headache. Triptans, such as
Imitrex, Maxalt, and Replax, which are designer
drugs specially targeted to abort migraines,
should not be taken more than nine times a month.
If you are taking more than that, part of your
headache could be due to medication overuse
headache.
