Uses
Butalbital 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 Butalbital 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 this drug 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.
This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy; use caution engaging in activities
requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Avoid alcoholic
beverages. Butalbital contains caffeine. Avoid drinking large amounts
of caffeinated beverages while taking Butalbital as excessive nervousness
and irritability can occur. Butalbital should be used during pregnancy
only if clearly needed. Small amounts of Butalbital 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 Butalbital 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. This drug 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.
