Boxed Warning:

Hepatotoxicity acetaminophen has been associated with cases of acute liver failure, at times resulting in liver transplant and death. most of the cases of liver injury are associated with the use of acetaminophen at doses that exceed 4000 milligrams per day, and often involve more than one acetaminophen containing product.

Indications and Usage:

Indications and usage butalbital and acetaminophen tablets are indicated for the relief of the symptom complex of tension (or muscle contraction) headache. evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of this combination product in the treatment of multiple recurrent headaches is unavailable. caution in this regard is required because butalbital is habit-forming and potentially abusable.

Warnings:

Warnings butalbital is habit-forming and potentially abusable. consequently, the extended use of this product is not recommended. hepatotoxicity acetaminophen has been associated with cases of acute liver failure, at times resulting in liver transplant and death. most of the cases of liver injury are associated with the use of acetaminophen at doses that exceed 4000 milligrams per day, and often involve more than one acetaminophen containing product. the excessive intake of acetaminophen may be intentional to cause self-harm or unintentional as patients attempt to obtain more pain relief or unknowingly take other acetaminophen-containing products. the risk of acute liver failure is higher in individuals with underlying liver disease and in individuals who ingest alcohol while taking acetaminophen. instruct patients to look for acetaminophen or apap on package labels and not to use more than one product that contains acetaminophen. instruct patients to seek medical attention immediately
upon ingestion of more than 4000 milligrams of acetaminophen per day, even if they feel well. serious skin reactions rarely, acetaminophen may cause serious skin reactions such as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (agep), stevens-johnson syndrome (sjs), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (ten), which can be fatal. patients should be informed about the signs of serious skin reactions, and use of the drug should be discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis there have been post-marketing reports of hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis associated with use of acetaminophen. clinical signs included swelling of the face, mouth. and throat. respiratory distress, urticaria, rash, pruritus. and vomiting. there were infrequent reports of life-threatening anaphylaxis requiring emergency medical attention. instruct patients to discontinue butalbital and acetaminophen tablets immediately and seek medical care if they experience these symptoms. do not prescribe butalbital and acetaminophen tablets for patients with acetaminophen allergy.

Dosage and Administration:

Dosage and administration butalbital and acetaminophen tablets 50 mg/300 mg: one or two tablets every four hours. total daily dosage should not exceed 6 tablets. extended and repeated use of these products is not recommended because of the potential for physical dependence.

Contraindications:

Contraindications this product is contraindicated under the following conditions: hypersensitivity or intolerance to any component of this product. patients with porphyria.

Adverse Reactions:

Adverse reactions frequently observed: the most frequently reported adverse reactions are drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and intoxicated feeling. infrequently observed: all adverse events tabulated below are classified as infrequent. central nervous: headache, shaky feeling, tingling, agitation, fainting, fatigue, heavy eyelids, high energy, hot spells, numbness, sluggishness, seizure. mental confusion, excitement or depression can also occur due to intolerance, particularly in elderly or debilitated patients, or due to overdosage of butalbital. autonomic nervous: dry mouth, hyperhidrosis. gastrointestinal: difficulty swallowing, heartburn, flatulence, constipation. cardiovascular: tachycardia. musculoskeletal: leg pain, muscle fatigue. genitourinary: diuresis. miscellaneous: pruritus, fever, earache, nasal congestion, tinnitus, euphoria, allergic reactions. several cases of dermatological reactions, including to
xic epidermal necrolysis and erythema multiforme, have been reported. the following adverse drug events may be borne in mind as potential effects of the components of this product. potential effects of high dosage are listed in the overdosage section. acetaminophen: allergic reactions, rash, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis.

Overdosage:

Overdosage following an acute overdosage of butalbital and acetaminophen, toxicity may result from the barbiturate or the acetaminophen. signs and symptoms toxicity from barbiturate poisoning include drowsiness, confusion, and coma; respiratory depression; hypotension; and hypovolemic shock. in acetaminophen overdosage: dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis is the most serious adverse effect. renal tubular necroses, hypoglycemic coma, and coagulation defects may also occur. early symptoms following a potentially hepatotoxic overdose may include: nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, and general malaise. clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatic toxicity may not be apparent until 48 to 72 hours post-ingestion. treatment a single or multiple drug overdose with this combination product is a potentially lethal polydrug overdose, and consultation with a regional poison control center is recommended. immediate treatment includes support of cardiorespiratory function and measures to reduce drug absorption. oxygen, intravenous fluids, vasopressors, and other supportive measures should be employed as indicated. assisted or controlled ventilation should also be considered. gastric decontamination with activated charcoal should be administered just prior to n-acetylcysteine (nac) to decrease systemic absorption if acetaminophen ingestion is known or suspected to have occurred within a few hours of presentation. serum acetaminophen levels should be obtained immediately if the patient presents 4 hours or more after ingestion to assess potential risk of hepatotoxicity; acetaminophen levels drawn less than 4 hours post-ingestion may be misleading. to obtain the best possible outcome, nac should be administered as soon as possible where impending or evolving liver injury is suspected. intravenous nac may be administered when circumstances preclude oral administration. vigorous supportive therapy is required in severe intoxication. procedures to limit the continuing absorption of the drug must be readily performed since the hepatic injury is dose dependent and occurs early in the course of intoxication.

Description each butalbital and acetaminophen tablet for oral administration, contains butalbital, usp 50 mg, acetaminophen, usp 300 mg. in addition, each butalbital and acetaminophen tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, magnesium stearate, povidone, and stearic acid. butalbital (5-allyl-5-isobutylbarbituric acid), a slightly bitter, white, odorless, crystalline powder, is a short to intermediate-acting barbiturate. it has the following structural formula: c11h16n2o3 molecular weight = 224.26 acetaminophen (4'-hydroxyacetanilide), a slightly bitter, white, odorless, crystalline powder, is a non- opiate, non-salicylate analgesic and antipyretic. it has the following structural formula: c8h9no2 molecular weight = 151.16 acetaminophen structure butalbital structure

Clinical Pharmacology:

Clinical pharmacology this combination drug product is intended as a treatment for tension headache. it consists of a fixed combination of butalbital and acetaminophen. the role each component plays in the relief of the complex of symptoms known as tension headache is incompletely understood. pharmacokinetics: the behavior of the individual components is described below. butalbital: butalbital is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is expected to distribute to most tissues in the body. barbiturates in general may appear in breast milk and readily cross the placental barrier. they are bound to plasma and tissue proteins to a varying degree and binding increases directly as a function of lipid solubility. elimination of butalbital is primarily via the kidney (59% to 88% of the dose) as unchanged drug or metabolites. the plasma half-life is about 35 hours. urinary excretion products include parent drug (about 3.6% of the dose), 5-isobutyl-5-(2,3-dihydroxy-propyl) barbituric
acid (about 24% of the dose), 5-allyl-5 (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-propyl) barbituric acid (about 4.8% of the dose), products with the barbituric acid ring hydrolyzed with excretion of urea (about 14% of the dose), as well as unidentified materials. of the material excreted in the urine, 32% is conjugated. see overdosage for toxicity information. acetaminophen: acetaminophen is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is distributed throughout most body tissues. the plasma half-life is 1.25 to 3 hours but may be increased by liver damage and following overdosage. elimination of acetaminophen is principally by liver metabolism (conjugation) and subsequent renal excretion of metabolites. approximately 85% of an oral dose appears in the urine within 24 hours of administration, most as the glucuronide conjugate, with small amounts of other conjugates and unchanged drug. see overdosage for toxicity information.
