Fioricet – Innovative Pain Reliever

Fioricet is a time-tested medication that consists of Butalbital, Caffeine and Acetaminophen as active ingredients. Each component produces a definite impact on the organism, forming the final ultimate effect. Butalbital belongs to a group of barbiturates that relax the muscles involved in tension headache. Caffeine serves a powerful stimulant of the central nervous system. It works relaxing muscle contractions of the blood vessels, improving the blood flow. Acetaminophen is a revolutionary fever reducer and pain reliever.

Considering the powerful triple effect of the medication, it is commonly prescribed to improve tension headaches caused by muscle contractions and related conditions. Additionally, your healthcare provider can recommend the treatment to improve other issues.
