Fioricet

Fioricet is a combination medication that contains acetaminophen, butalbital, and caffeine. It is typically used to treat tension headaches and migraine headaches. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer, butalbital is a barbiturate that relaxes muscle contractions, and caffeine helps to enhance the effects of the other two ingredients. Fioricet is typically taken as needed for pain relief and should not be taken regularly or in high doses due to the risk of dependence and overdose.
