What is Fioricet:
Fioricet is a barbiturate sedative (butalbital) mixed with
aspirin and caffeine. This non-narcotic pain medication and
relaxant is often prescribed for tension headaches caused by
contractions of the muscles in the neck and shoulder area,
and migraine. While Fioricet is a highly effective pain
killer, it has been associated with an increased risk of
addiction when used improperly, or for too long. Never take
Fioricet in greater doses, or for a longer period of time,
than recommended by your doctor.
Taking Fioricet: Follow the directions for using
Fioricet provided by your doctor. STORE Fioricet at room
temperature in a tightly-closed container, away from heat
and light. IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF Fioricet and you are using
Fioricet regularly, take Fioricet as soon as possible. If it
is almost time for your next Fioricet dose, skip the missed
Fioricet dose and go back to your regular Fioricet dosing
schedule. Do not take 2 doses of Fioricet at once.
