What Is Butalb Acetaminophen Caffeine Capsules Used For

I have BUT/ACETAMINOPHEN/CAFF 50-300-40 CP. What do the last two letters "CP" mean? Does it mean capsules? ## Hello Grace, Typically the abbreviation CP in the medical field refers to cerebral palsy but in reference to a pill itself it's fairly safe to assume that it could stand for capsule. Each company and pharmacy have their own way of labeling things so if it's truly of great concern to you simply ask your pharmacy or the manufacturer who labeled the bottle. ## The ingredients listed in your abbreviation correspond with: Butalbital 50 mg / Acetaminophen 300 mg / Caffeine 40 mg I am inclined to agree with everyone on here that the "CP" could likely stand for Capsule ... However, there is a variation of this med that also contains Codeine Phosphate 30 mg in add...

I took these capsules, these were told by pham. that they are the same ingredients as foinal w/codine. But I am having red blotching all over my body,plus it is eyes & lips are swelling alittle.Help??? ## Okay, first of all there is NO Fiorinal with Codeine, Fiorinal contains Aspirin, Butalbital and Caffeine, it is commonly used to treat migraines. These capsules contain 30mgs of Codeine, 500mgs of Acetaminophen, 50mgs of Butalbital and 40mgs of Caffeine, so they are the generic for Fioricet with Codeine. That said, even if you have taken this same thing before, it is possible for an allergy or new side effect to suddenly occur. this site is not medical professionals, but this certainly sounds like an allergic reaction and you should consult your doctor or pharmacist IMMEDIATELY! ##...

What is this for? they are light blue capsules with a design of a head. And has Fioricet written on it. ## Hello, Tater bug! How are you? Fioricet is most commonly used to treat migraine and severe tension headaches. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, nervousness and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with? It's surprising that you found one, since many people are having trouble finding the name brand in stock, anywhere. It makes me wonder if it might be an older one. ## What is the pain medicine in it. ## Acetaminophen, Butalbital and Caffeine. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Is this capsule time released? ## I have a pill that is a white caplet with a J on one side and a 4 and a 2 on the other side. Is ...

green and yellow capsule ## Are there any markings on the capsule? If there are no markings, it is going to be virtually impossible to positively identify. There is are a couple of green and yellow Fiorinal capsules, some of these markings include: LANNETT 1552 WATSON 3219 FIORINAL 955 FIORINAL 78-103 Do any of these match? If not, please post back with the imprint. Fiorinal contains Acetaminophen, Butalbital and Caffeine, it is most commonly used to treat tension headaches. Read more:

Blue and white capsule imprint watson on one side 3220 on the other supposed to be 30 mg hydrocodone ## Hello, Melissa! How are you? There is no manufactured 30mg Hydrocodone available in the U.S., it is only available combined with Acetaminophen and the tablets that are available only have a maximum of 10mgs of the Hydrocodone. Other doses are available by a compounding pharmacy, if a doctor specially orders them, but they would not have an imprint such as this on the capsules. That said, the white and blue capsule with this marking contains 325mgs of Acetaminophen, 50mgs of Butalbital, 40mgs of Caffeine and 30mgs of Codeine, it is most commonly used to treat migraines and tension headaches. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there an...
