What is Fioricet
Fioricet is a pain
reliever and sedative. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and
tension headaches.
How
to Use Fioricet
To prevent upset stomach,
take Fioricet 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.
Fioricet

dizziness, drowsiness, stomach upset, nausea, and sleeping
disturbances the first few days as your body adjusts to the

your doctor. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop: a rapid/
irregular heartbeat. An allergic reaction to Fioricet is unlikely, but
seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms
of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe
dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed
above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precauations

medical history, especially of: serious liver disease, alcohol or
narcotic dependence, emotional/mental conditions, heart disease
(arrhythmias, recent MI), stomach/intestinal ulcers, any allergies.
Acetaminophen may cause liver damage. Daily use of alcohol, especially
when combined with acetaminophen, may increase your risk for liver
damage. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for more information. To
prevent oversedation, avoid using alcohol and other sedative type
medications while taking this. Fioricet may make you dizzy or drowsy;
use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving
or using machinery. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Fioricet
contains caffeine. Avoid drinking large amounts of caffeinated
beverages while taking Fioricet as excessive nervousness and
irritability can occur. Fioricet should be used during
pregnancy only if clearly needed. Small amounts of Fioricet
appear in breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
