How Butalbital works ?

As a barbiturate, Butalbital has anti-anxiety and muscle relaxing qualities that work effectively along with the pain relief medication (acetaminophen) to treat both headache pain and it associated muscle tension. The caffeine in Butalbital has analgesic properties itself and facilitates the action of the main ingredient.

How to take Butalbital ?

To prevent upset stomach, take Butalbital with food or milk. Pain medications work best in preventing pain before it occurs. Once the pain becomes intense, Butalbital is not as effective in relieving it. Take Butalbital only as prescribed. Do not increase your dose or take it more frequently without your doctor's approval.

Butalbital precautions

Butalbital is an addictive barbiturate. Butalbital should not be mixed with alcohol due to increased risk of intoxication. Tell your doctor your medical history, especially serious liver disease, alcohol or narcotic dependence, emotional/mental conditions, heart disease (arrhythmias, recent MI), stomach/intestinal ulcers, and any allergies. Acetaminophen may cause liver damage. Daily use of alcohol, especially when combined with acetaminophen, may increase your risk of liver damage. To prevent oversedation, avoid using alcohol and other sedative type medications while taking Butalbital. This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy; use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Butalbital contains caffeine. Avoid drinking large amounts of caffeinated beverages while taking this Butalbital as excessive nervousness and irritability can occur. Butalbital should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed as small amounts appear in breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Drug interactions

Tell your doctor about all prescription and nonprescription drugs you use, especially blood thinners and those that cause drowsiness such as: sleep medications, tranquilizers, anti-anxiety drugs (e.g. diazepam), narcotic pain relievers (e.g. codeine), psychiatric medicines (e.g. phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine or tricyclics such as amitriptyline), anti-seizure drugs (e.g. carbamazepine), muscle relaxants, antihistamines that cause drowsiness (e.g. diphenhydramine). Because Butalbital contains acetaminophen, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking other medications containing acetaminophen. Butalbital may interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills. Discuss using other methods of birth control with your doctor.
