What is Fioricet?

 

What are the dosages of Fioricet?

Fioricet is a medicine approved by the FDA for treating tension headaches and migraines. The medicine contains a combination of acetaminophen Butalbital caffeine. All these active ingredients of the medication work in the human brain to relieve headaches caused due to muscle contraction.

The daily dosages of Fioricet is one to two tablets every 4-6 hours as required. The patient shouldn't exceed the dose by six pills a day as the medication contains acetaminophen. Paracetamol or acetaminophen at higher doses can cause severe kidney damage.

Fioricet is a controlled substance by the United States Drug Enforcement Agency, so its extended or repeated use is not recommended. Being a controlled substance, Fioricet has the potential for physical dependence, abuse, and addiction.

Always consult your primary health care physician or prescribing doctor before starting or stopping the medication.
