Butalbital Information

Butalbital and acetaminophen combination is a pain reliever and relaxant. It is used to treat tension headaches. Butalbital belongs to the group of medicines called barbiturates.

Butalbital is known to produce very few side effects which is why doctors prefer prescribing Butalbital instead of other muscle-relaxants. The side effects from Butalbital are known to emerge as soon as you start taking the medication. It may happen sometimes that a drug may affect some patients adversely.
