Fioricet Information
|
Before Using
Some medicines or medical conditions may interact with Fioricet. INFORM
YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST of all prescription and over-the-counter medicine
that you are taking. ADDITIONAL MONITORING OF YOUR DOSE OR CONDITION may
be needed if you are taking anticoagulants, birth control pills, corticosteroids,
doxycycline, isoniazid, metronidazole, quinidine, theophylline, or medicine
for high blood pressure or heart conditions (beta blockers). Inform your
doctor of any other medical conditions, allergies, pregnancy, or breast-feeding.
Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns
about using Fioricet.
Directions
Follow the directions for using Fioricet provided by your doctor.
STORE Fioricet at room temperature in a tightly-closed container,
away from heat and light. IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF Fioricet and you
are using it regularly, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time
for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing
schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Cautions
DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED DOSE or take Fioricet for longer than
prescribed without checking with your doctor. Exceeding the recommended
dose or taking Fioricet for longer than prescribed may be habit-forming.
AVOID ALCOHOL while you are using Fioricet. Fioricet will add
to the effects of alcohol and other depressants. DO NOT DRIVE, OPERATE
MACHINERY, OR DO ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS until you know
how you react to Fioricet. Using Fioricet alone, with other
medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or to perform
other potentially dangerous tasks. Fioricet CONTAINS ACETAMINOPHEN.
Do not take additional acetaminophen for pain or fever without checking
with your doctor or pharmacist. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions
about which medicines contain acetaminophen. Acetaminophen may cause liver
damage. If you drink alcohol on a daily basis, do not take Fioricet
without first discussing it with your doctor. Alcohol use combined with
acetaminophen may increase your risk for liver damage. Pain medications
work best if they are used as the first signs of pain (or first signs
of migraine) occur. If you wait until the pain has significantly worsened,
the pain medicine may not work as well. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING ANY NEW
MEDICINE, either prescription or over-the-counter, check with your doctor
or pharmacist. FOR WOMEN TAKING BIRTH CONTROL PILLS: Fioricet may
decrease the effectiveness of your birth control pills. To prevent pregnancy,
use an additional form of birth control while you are taking Fioricet.
FOR WOMEN: IF YOU PLAN ON BECOMING PREGNANT, discuss with your doctor
the benefits and risks of using Fioricet during pregnancy. Fioricet
IS EXCRETED IN BREAST MILK. DO NOT BREAST-FEED while taking Fioricet.

with your doctor. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact
your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
