Hmm, I could find information on Butalbital APAP. Fioricet is the brand name of the combination drug containing Butalbital 50mg, Acetaminophen 325mg, and Caffeine 40mg, also commonly referred to as Butalbital APAP for short, APAP being an abbreviation of Acetaminophen.
Take Fioricet exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Store Fioricet at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not take a double dose of this medication. The following is a list of side effects that may occur in the beginning stages of using Fioricet: drowsiness; dizziness, confusion or lightheadedness; shortness of breath; dry mouth; nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or decreased appetite; tiredness, leg pain, or muscle weakness; agitation, irritability, nervousness, anxiety or excitability; rash or itching; feeling of intoxication; headache; constipation
