Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer. Butalbital is in a group of drugs called barbiturates. It relaxes muscle contractions involved in a tension headache. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It relaxes muscle contractions in blood vessels to improve blood flow.

Fioricet is used to treat tension headaches that are caused by muscle contractions.

Evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of this combination product in the treatment of multiple recurrent headaches is unavailable. Its use has been primarily associated with the pain relieving effects of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and the relaxation effects of butalbital. Caution in this regard is required because butalbital is habit-forming and potentially abusable.
