Fiorcet

I have a light blue pill with white specks on it. It says west-ward and numbers 787. I was told it was a Fiorcet (not sure how to spell it), please identify. ## This contains Acetaminophen 325mgs, Butalbital 50mgs, and Caffeine 40mgs. It is indeed a generic for Fioricet. Mainly used to treat migraine or tension headaches. (NDC 0143-1787) Inactive Ingredients: - FD&C Blue No. 1 - Magnesium Stearate - Cellulose, Microcrystalline - Silicon Dioxide - Sodium Starch Glycolate Type a Potato

I have a 25 year history of migraines. Prescribed 1 or 2 fioricet every 4 to 6 hrs. Crazy but true, can someone she'd some light? For severe migraine relief, I need to take 2 at once. If at those times I take 1, wait 45 min for relief then take the other, it doesn't work. My experience has been that basically I have to start over, meaning that after that initial 45 min wait, I have to take 2 at one time, hitting the headache quick and hard. Also sometimes you think you will need 2 at the start and end up knowing that that was too much. So clearly, not good. My question is how can this scenario be? And why doesn't hydrocodone even with some caffeine and tylenol work for my migraines? Migraines are such a balancing act. Going to try Depakote, but keep my fioricet close by. ## ...

Hello. I had been taking fiorcet codeine ( for over a year. Recently, one of my primary care doctors told me to stop taking it because it is not meant for long-term use. Moreover, I informed him that my blood pressure readings were elevated. I stopped taking f.codeine...took my last pill on Tuesday, March 18th. I was taking 1-3 pills a day depending on my migraine/headache levels. My first day off of it (Wednesday night) was terrible...rebound headache, nausea, diarrhea and minor vomiting. The next day was about the same...last night I had a headache/migraine on left temporal/optic (with sore lower back) and still had the headache this morning. I felt crappy this morning through most of the day...felt like I had the flu...feverish, headache/migraine. I see my primary care doctor again o...

I recently started having acute allergic reactions to the generic fiorcet V 2355 round pill. I have taken this medication for years, and at first had to have the blue name brand/generic, but then found that I could take some of the white generics. Am wondering if the V 2355 inactive ingredients changed lately as I believe this is the one I had previously been taking with no reactions. The reactions I'm having are severe and affect my ability to breathe. How can I find out if the inactive ingredients were changed by this manufacturer? ## It is always possible to develop an allergy to something, because our bodies change with time. There is always the risk of suddenly becoming allergic to something that you have taken safely, or used for years, according to NIH reports. However, I did...

I just had a prescription filled for the first time by a new pharmacy and after doing some research on the med. I discovered that what was printed on the tablet did not match the description from the internet. It is a blue round tablet with west-ward 787 written around it. Is this O.k. If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate it. ## Yes your pill is Fioricet. The ingredients in Fioricet are Acetaminophen 325 mg, Butalbital 50 mg, and Caffeine 40 mg. They are indicated for the treatment of tension headaches and muscle contraction headaches. To learn more about these drugs click on the link below... Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do.

I have been taking fiorcet for years to relieve "aura" migraine headaches. The problem I am facing is the amount of caffeine in said medication. Would Cephadyn 650/50 be s better medication to take because, from what I have read, it does not contain caffeine at all? Please help!!! ## Hello, Lisha! How are you? Yes, if the caffeine is causing you problems, it could be a better option. Cephadyn is listed by the FDA as containing just Acetaminophen and Butalbital. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. It wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor about it. Is there anything else I can help with?

i always use mia 110 fiorcet.i got white ones w/v 2355. do they work as good b/c i cant teake the blue. im at the point im just going to to get brand name. does anyone know aboutn this quetson v 2355 qand if it works ## The only way to see if it is going to work for you is to actually try them. Medications can affect everyone differently, so what works well for someone else may not work for you and vice-versa. They both contain the same active ingredients, so in theory they should work the same. Are there any other comments or questions? ## they work better to me than the blue ones ## I think the blue ones are very diff than the white ones. It seems as if the blue ones have more caffeine. ## I agree with you, they are not the same, if you have true headaches, true migraines, true cluste...

This was an active ingredient in Percogesic, which I found very helpful alternating with fiorcet for migraines. The formula has changed to benadryl and tylenol. If possible, I would prefer to purchase only th pheyltoxoamine with no tylenol. ## I'm sorry, but this site does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications, this is an information only website. I am also not aware of the any products on the market that only contain the Phenyltoloxamine. The ones I see listed as still being available in North America, such as Novagesic and Pain-Gesic all contain the Acetaminophen. Have you tried asking your doctor or pharmacist?

I have these small white round pills with what I believe to be a T on one side and 50 on the other. I was told they are Fiorcet (or generic), but I cannot find them anywhere on the Internet. Does anyone know if they are Fiorcet? ## Anyone? Any info would be helpful. ## I have the same thing. Mine came vacuumed packed. No information nada. I found one thing about it - its "rybix" - tramadol. I ran across your post hoping to find more information. Was wondering if you did? ## Yes, this tablet is manufactured by Vidotry Pharma and they list it as being a 50mg Rybix tablet, which contains the active ingredient Tramadol. The FDA classifies this as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry m...

I have tried several drugstores for the fiorinal tablet and cannot find them. I have taken them for several years, the capsule is not effective and neither is the fiorcet. Where can I find the fiorinal (butalbital-Asa-caffeine tablets, 50-325-40) ## Hello, Ann! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. However, from what was recently reported, it appears that they were removed from the market. I haven't been able to discover why, it may just have been due to lack of sales. The only suggestion I can really give you is that you talk to your doctor to see if there is an alternative that you can try. Does anyone else have any other ideas? ## Reported Where? I take the Brand Fiorinal with Codeine #3 and have not been able to get script filled for couple mo...

Are there or is it possible that anyone else has received norco 10/325 that say 2355 on one side and have a v on the other. This comes up as fiorcet on pill id but these feel like hydrocodone. Anyone else ? ## Hello, Chaz! How are you? No, it is a generic Fioricet, the effects you're feeling are most likely due to the Butalbital in it, which is a barbiturate, it can cause a high like effect, dizziness and drowsiness.
