Common Brand Name(s)
Esgic, Fioricet
Uses
Fioricet is a pain reliever and sedative. It is
used to relieve mild to moderate pain and tension
headaches.
How to Use
To prevent upset stomach, take Fioricet with food
or milk. Pain medications work best in preventing
pain before it occurs. Once the pain becomes intense,
the medication is not as effective in relieving
it. Take this as prescribed. Do not increase your
dose or take it more frequently without your doctor's
approval.
Side Effects
May cause lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness,
stomach upset, nausea, and sleeping disturbances
the first few days as your body adjusts to the
medication. If these symptoms persist or become
bothersome, inform your doctor.
Notify your doctor immediately if you develop:
a rapid/ irregular heartbeat. An allergic reaction
to Fioricet is unlikely, but seek immediate medical
attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic
reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe
dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other
effects not listed above, contact your doctor
or pharmacist.
Precautions
Tell your doctor your medical history, especially
of: serious liver disease, alcohol or narcotic
dependence, emotional/mental conditions, heart
disease (arrhythmias, recent MI), stomach/intestinal
ulcers, any allergies.
Acetaminophen may cause liver damage. Daily use
of alcohol, especially when combined with acetaminophen,
may increase your risk for liver damage. Check
with your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
To prevent oversedation, avoid using alcohol and
other sedative type medications while taking this.
Fioricet may make you dizzy or drowsy; use caution
engaging in activities requiring alertness such
as driving or using machinery. Avoid alcoholic
beverages. This medication contains caffeine.
Avoid drinking large amounts of caffeinated beverages
while taking this medication as excessive nervousness
and irritability can occur.
This medication should be used during pregnancy
only if clearly needed. Small amounts of this
medication appear in breast milk. Consult your
doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions
Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription
drugs you may use, especially of: "blood thinners"
Tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription
and nonprescription drugs you may use that cause
drowsiness such as: medicine for sleep (e.g.,
sedatives), 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 Fioricet contains acetaminophen, check
with your doctor or pharmacist before taking other
medications containing acetaminophen which is
commonly found in nonprescription pain relievers
and cough-and-cold products. Read labels carefully
to check ingredients. Fioricet may interfere with
the effectiveness of birth control pills. Discuss
using other methods of birth control with your
doctor. Do not start or stop any medicine without
doctor or pharmacist approval.
