Fiorinal-Cod Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Butalbital Compound With Codeine
Fiorinal-Cod Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Butalbital Compound With Codeine
INDICATIONS
Butalbital compound
with Codeine is indicated for the relief
of the symptom complex
of tension (or muscle
contraction) headache.
Evidence supporting the efficacy
of Butalbital compound
with Codeine is derived from 2 multi-clinic trials that compared
patients with tension headache randomly assigned to 4 parallel treatments:
Butalbital compound with Codeine, codeine, Butalbital compound,
and placebo. Response was assessed over the course of the first
4 hours of each of 2 distinct headaches, separated by at least 24
hours. Butalbital compound
with Codeine proved statistically significantly superior
to each of its components (Butalbital compound, codeine) and to
placebo on measures
of pain relief.
Evidence supporting the efficacy
and safety of Butalbital compound
with Codeine in the treatment
of multiple recurrent
headaches is unavailable. Caution in this regard is required because
codeine and butalbital
are habit-forming and potentially abusable.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
One or 2 capsules every 4 hours. Total daily dosage
should not exceed 6 capsules.
Extended and repeated use of this product
is not recommended because of the potential
for physical dependence.
