What is Fioricet?
Fioricet is a prescription medication typically used for tension headaches. It contains a combination of acetaminophen (pain reliever), butalbital (a barbiturate for relaxation), and caffeine (to enhance pain relief). It should be used as directed due to its potential for dependence and side effects like drowsiness and dizziness.
What is the mechanism of action of Fioricet?
Fioricet relaxes the muscle tension believed to be linked to tension headaches. It also slows down your CNS or central nervous system by affecting a specific chemical messenger or neurotransmitter that activates your pain impulses.
How should you take Fioricet?
You can take Fioricet with or without food. It would help if you took Fioricet with milk or food to prevent stomach irritation. You can now buy Fioricet online from our online pharmacy store, as it is the most preferred pharmacy site in your country. We also ensure guaranteed overnight delivery of your medicines.
Please do not take this drug for more than three days in a month. Over-use of this medicine can also lead to a medication-overuse headache that happens if analgesic drugs are used too frequently to alleviate pain from a headache.
If you use Fioricet often or become addicted to it, consult the doctor about slowly withdrawing this medicine, as sudden withdrawal may cause a withdrawal syndrome.
What side effects can Fioricet cause?
The following aftereffects have been reported in users taking drugs containing butalbital –
- Confusion, drowsiness, depression, and lightheadedness
- Stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting
More severe side effects can occur and could be signs of severe complications or an allergy.
