is this medication appropriate for treatment of swelling in the ethmoid sinus? ## Although this medication is used a pain reliever for headaches (containing Butalbital, Acetaminophen, and Caffeine) I don't think it has anti-inflammatory properties. That said, I don't know if it would actually help with swelling, although it should relieve some of the pain. ## Butalb-Acetaminophen was prescribed for my severe frontal lobe/ sinus headaches. The Prescription reads "take one tablet every 6-8 hours as needed for headache". Well, they're 100% right on! If yoy WANT a headache that lasts 6-8 hours after administering, take one! It was a NIGHTMARE of pain and icepacks for me.

Can you take the two drugs together ## There can be some risks associated with taking Butalbital with Oxycodone, since they can both cause depression of the central nervous system and taking them together can cause additive effects. It's not that they can't be used together, but it must be done cautiously and the patient should be monitored regularly for danger signs, like shallow breathing and severe sedation. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Learn more Butalbital details here. Have they both been prescribed for you?

round green on one side with A white on other with 600 ## The closest I've been able to find to this is a blue and white tablet that manufactured by Adams Laboratories, which they list as containing 600mgs of Guaifenesin, is it most commonly used to treat congestion. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Is anyone else familiar with this tablet?

I was previously taking Butalbital Compund 50-325-40 twice a day for about 4 years for tension headaches. My doctor now has started me on Nortriptyline and no more Butalbital. Anyone else with tension headaches who had to make this switch and did Nortriptyline really help? Vince P ## Hello, Vince! How are you? Yes, everyone is having to make a switch. As to whether or not Nortriptyline will work, the only way to find out is to try it and see. These medications do help some people that suffer migraines and tension headaches, so you may experience good results with it. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Does anyone know why they have discontinued the Butalbital compound ( Fiorinal) tablets? I have taken this...

I take six butalbital a day. is it safe to take one 50 mg of pristiq also? ## Hello, Angela! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between these two medications, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Learn more Butalbital details here. Learn more Pristiq details here. And this only applies to Butalbital by itself, if you're taking one of the combination medications that also contains other ingredients, the answer may be different. Pristiq is an SNRI antidepressant and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and elevated blood pressure. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is this medicine still available? ## Hi Gerry, Based on my research, it doesn't appear that there ever was a shortage or discontinuation of this particular medication. At least not recently, from what I can tell. Were you told by a pharmacist or doctor that it was temporarily unavailable for one reason or another? Please post back if you happen to have any additional information regarding this, and I can definitely look into it more. ## Last week i was told by my doctor it is no longer available. Would appreciate any information you find.

i have been prescribed butalb-apap-caff 50-325-40 tab as part of an epilepsy seizure treatment. directions are take one tablet every 4 hrs as needed for pain but not more than 3 days in a row. can anyone explain the reason for taking not more than 3 days in a row? ## I can't speak for your doctor and their specific reasoning for it, but there are usually several reasons that these instructions may be included and I can inform you what some of those are. One reason would be the risk of it masking other serious symptoms, for instance, if you're taking so much of something to relieve pain that you're not realizing that your pain is getting a lot worse and requires another look by a medial professional. There are also other symptoms that may be masked, such as worsening seizures...

I'm having a severe headache and have been for 3 days. Went to Dr yesterday and they gave me a script for a headache pill but it didn't work. They also gave me a pain shot and steroid shot that didn't work! Today they called in a script for butalb acetaminophen caffeine 50 300 40 and it's not working. How long should it take for this to work or should I go to see if I need any tests ran? ## It should start to help within 15 to 20 minutes of taking it, according to the NIH, since it is a regular release medication. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain. Are you on any other medications? Has the headache eased, yet? ## I'm not on any other meds and today is the first day without a headache in 7 days .

Is it possible to overdose on this drug in a way that causes death? What are the symptoms? ## Hello, From what I can gather, this combination can potentially be fatal, but you would have to ingest a very significant amount. A serious overdose of butalbital and acetaminophen may result in toxicity. Toxicity due to caffeine is less likely, due to the fairly small amounts in this formulation. The symptoms of overdosing on these medications are as follows: Butalbital: toxicity from Barbituate poisoning may include confusion, drowsiness, and coma; respiratory depression; hypotension; and hypovolemic shock. Acetaminophen: dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis is the most serious adverse effect. Renal tubular necroses, hypoglycemic coma, and coagulation defects may also occur. Ear...
