Headache Medicine

I used to get a headache or pain reliever medicine in Tijuana in the 1980s that worked wonders for a friend who got migraines. It was not available in the USA as far as I know. I remember little about it except that it came in a cardboard box about 2" X 4" X 1/2" and I think the name was fairly long, maybe 4 syllables or more. I think it came in white tablets that were fairly large, though I am not sure that recollection is accurate. I think I would recognize the name if I saw or heard it but I just cannot recall it from my memory. Thanks so much for any help/ ## I'm sorry, but that's really not much information to go on, there are many products on the market that match such a description and since it was coming out of Mexico, there is a large list of medications it ...

According to the U.S. FDA taking it with the steroid still in your system could increase your risk of stomach ulceration.

This sinus medicine is over the counter and I love it because it is affective on my sinus headaches and is I only take one pill, that usually lasts all day. I don't know the band name of it so I can buy some more. It is non-drowsy, peach colored,coated,long oval shape (like the shape of a hot dog bun). It is in a individually wrapped sheet that you pull the paper back and punch throught the foil. It has the number L104 on it and is made by Perrigo. It is called Sinus Headache PE and contains: Acetaminophen 325mg/PhenylephrineHCI 5mg. I'm pretty sure its a generic brand. I don't know where I got it cause I threw the box away. It's one of the few I have found that does the work for my sinus headaches and doesn't make me grouchy! It doesn't seem to make me real hype...

Please clarify ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, that is just the nature of how it works, when you add a chemical to the body to try to rectify a problem. However, if you do not take the prescribed medications, high blood sugar can be deadly, so there is far less risk to dealing with the possible side effects. The U.S. FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, flatulence, and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is the new formulation of fioricet now class 3. A controlled substance. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? That is what being on Schedule III means, it's been found to have potential for abuse and dependence. The Butalbital in it is a barbiturate. But you do need to understand that most prescription drugs are considered controlled substances. Is there anything else I can help with? ## It is the same except it now has 25 mg of Tylenol less. The ratio of tylenol to the barbituate changed and that is what made it now a controlled substance. It's crazy!
