Fiorinal (Butalbital / Caffeine / Aspirin) - Indications and Dosage

 
 



INDICATIONS

Fiorinal is indicated for the relief of the symptom complex of tension (or muscle contraction) headache. Evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of Fiorinal in the treatment of multiple recurrent headaches is unavailable. Caution in this regard is required because butalbital is habit-forming and potentially abusable.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

One or 2 capsules every 4 hours. Total daily dose should not exceed 6 capsules. Extended and repeated use of this product is not recommended because of the potential for physical dependence.
