Butalbital Directions

• 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, Butalbital is not as effective in relieving it. Take Butalbital as prescribed. Do not increase your dose or take Butalbital more frequently without your doctor's approval.

Butalbital Side Effects

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 Butalbital 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.

• 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 Butalbital. Butalbital 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.

Drug Interactions with Butalbital

• Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription drugs you may use, especially of: "blood thinners".
