Fioricet ® Medical Information:

What Is It Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer. Butalbital is in a class of drugs called barbiturates that slow down your central nervous system (brain and nerve impulses) causing relaxation. Caffeine is believed to constrict dilated blood vessels that may contribute to tension headaches. Together, acetaminophen, butalbital, and caffeine are used to relieve complex tension (muscle contraction) headaches. Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Normal Dose Take acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Take each dose with a full glass of water. Take acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine with food or milk if it upsets your stomach. Never take more acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine than is prescribed for you. If your pain is not being adequately treated, talk to your doctor.

These side effects are very rare and are not likely to occur during proper treatment with acetaminophen and caffeine. If you experience any unusual reactions, stop taking this medicine and seek the advice of your doctor. Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur.
