What is the Fioricet pain pill?
Butalbital (generic Fioricet) is a non-narcotic pain medication, often prescribed for tension headaches and migraines. Fioricet® is a barbiturate (butalbital), mixed with acetaminophen and caffeine. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer. Caffeine is believed to constrict dilated blood vessels that may contribute to tension headaches.
This medication is a pain reliever and sedative. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and tension headaches.
When do you take the Fioricet pain pill?
To prevent
upset stomach, take this medication with food or milk. Pain medications work
best in preventing pain before it occurs. Once the pain becomes intense, the
medication is not as effective in relieving it. Take this as prescribed. Do
not increase your dose or take it more frequently without your doctor's
approval.
