Fioricet Information
Fioricet and Esgic are brand name drugs made from a combination
of butalbital (a barbiturate, 50 mg), acetaminophen (325 mg),
and caffeine (40 mg). They are indicated for the treatment
of tension headaches and muscle contraction headaches. Butalbital
is a barbiturate and has a generalized depressant effect on
central nervous system and, in very high doses, has peripheral
effects. Acetaminophen has analgesic and antipyretic effects,
its analgesic effects may be mediated through inhibition of
prostaglandin synthetase enzyme complex. Caffeine is thought
to produce constriction of cerebral blood vessels. Butalbital
has a half-life of about 35 hours. Acetaminophen has a half-life
of about 1.25 to 3 hours, but may be increased by liver damage
and after an overdose. Caffeine has a half-life of about 3
hours.
Rx Fioricet Uses
Rx Fioricet is a barbiturate sedative mixed with a non-aspirin
pain medication and caffeine. This non-narcotic pain medication
and relaxant is often prescribed for tension headaches caused
by contractions of the muscles in the neck and shoulder area,
and migraine.
