Fioricet Detailed Information

Fioricet is a combined analgesic, containing three active ingredients. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer. Butalbital is in a class of drugs called barbiturates that slow down your central nervous system. 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.
Fioricet may be prescribed sometimes for migraine headache.

Butalbital combined analgesics: Pros and Cons

  • Butalbital-containing agents: should they be banned? No Butalbital-containing analgesics are of proven efficacy in the treatment of tension headache. Decades of experience have established their value in the treatment of other mild-to-moderate headaches. Numbers of people rely on these medications as their drug of choice or use them when vasoconstrictors, opioids, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents are contraindicated. Removal of these agents from the market would reduce the chronic daily headache in the general population by a small fraction of 1%. [2]
  • Should butalbital-containing analgesics be banned? Yes These agents can cause physical and psychological dependency, and withdrawal syndromes. Butalbital-containing analgesics have already been banned in several European countries. In the 20 years since analgesic overuse headache was widely recognized, butalbital overuse has remained distressingly common. [3]

Fioricet off-label uses:

  • migraine headache

Fioricet Advantages:

  • better than acetaminophen with codeine in the treatment of chronically recurring tension headache [1]
  • proven effectiveness for tension-type headahes
  • rare and minor immediate sede effects, when used properly
  • normal, limited use is usually safe and cost-effective, with only occasional and minor immediate adverse effects [2]
  • availability of generic version

Fioricet Disadvantages:

  • frequent use can lead to drug-induced ("rebound") headaches
  • has potential for tolerance and dependence
  • long-time use of high doses can produce withdrawal syndromes after discontinuation
  • may impair mental and physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery

Pharmacological characteristics

  • Elimination half-life:
    Butalbital: 35 hours
    Acetaminophen: 1.25-3 hours, may be increased by liver damage and following overdosage
    Caffeine: 3 hours

Dosage and Administration
One or two Fioricet tablets every four hours. Total daily dosage should not exceed 6 tablets. Extended and repeated use of Fioricet is not recommended because of the potential for physical dependence.

Fioricet & Alcohol
Alcohol and other CNS depressants may produce an additive CNS depression when taken with Fioricet, and should be avoided. The lethal dose of butalbital is much less if alcohol added.

Fioricet side effects
The most frequent side effects associated with Fioricet are drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and intoxicated feeling.

Fioricet toxicity
Following an acute overdosage of Fioricet, toxicity may result from the barbiturate or the acetaminophen. Toxicity due to caffeine is less likely, due to the relatively small amounts in this formulation.

Toxicity from barbiturate poisoning includes drowsiness, confusion, and coma; respiratory depression; hypotension; and hypovolemic shock.

In acetaminophen overdosage: dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis is the most serious adverse effect. Renal tubular necroses, hypoglycemic coma and thrombocytopenia may also occur. Early symptoms following a potentially hepatotoxic overdose may include: nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis and general malaise.

Fioricet for headache relief
Anyone can experience tension-type headaches, although they most commonly occur between the ages of 20 and 40 years. A tension headache is one of the most common forms of headache. This condition includes: pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck, usually associated with muscle tightness in these areas. The dose of medication must be determined by your health care professional. The quantity of tablets that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. If your drug contains 325 mg of acetaminophen in each capsule or tablet, you should not take more than 6 capsules or tablets a day. Fioricet will relieve a headache best if you take it as soon as the headache begins. Lying down in a quiet, dark room for a while after taking Fioricet also helps to relieve headaches. People who get a lot of headaches may need to take a different medication to help prevent headaches.
