Fioricet is a combination of
Acetaminophen, Butalbital, and Caffeine. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever
and fever reducer. Butalbital is in a class of drugs called barbiturates
that slow down your central nervous system (brain and nerve impulses) causing
relaxation. Caffeine is believed to constrict dilated blood vessels that
may contribute to tension headaches. Together, acetaminophen, butalbital,
and caffeine are used to relieve complex tension (muscle contraction) headaches
although precisely how it works is unknown.
Tramadol is a non-opioid prescription
pain relief medication that is meant to help alleviate moderate to moderately
severe pain. Tramadol is a synthetic analgesic, not an anti-inflammatory,
which means that people who cannot take anti-inflammatories do to their side
effects, can often take Tramadol to help relieve their pain. Tramadol is
the generic of the prescription drug Ultram.
Imitrex (Sumatriptan) is
used to treat migraine headache attacks once they occur. Imitrex is not effective
in preventing migraines. Imitrex is not to be used for other types of headaches.
