Indications & Usage

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE is indicated for the management of the symptom complex of tension (or muscle contraction) headache, when non-opioid analgesic and alternative treatments are inadequate. BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE is a combination of butalbital, a barbiturate, aspirin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, caffeine, a methylxanthine, and codeine phosphate, an opioid agonist, and is indicated for the management of the symptom complex of tension (or muscle contraction) headache, when other non-opioid analgesics and alternative treatments are inadequate. Limitations of Use Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, misuse, overdose, and death, which can occur at any dosage or duration and persist over the course of therapy, reserve opioid analgesics, including BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be otherwise inadequate to provide sufficient management of pain ( 1 , 5.1 ). BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE should not be used for an extended period of time unless the pain r

Dosage & Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Periodically reassess patients receiving BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE to evaluate the continued need for opioid analgesics to maintain pain control, for the signs or symptoms of adverse reactions, and for the development of addiction, abuse, or misuse. Use the lowest effective dosage for the shortest duration of time consistent with individual patient treatment goals. Reserve titration to higher doses of BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE for patients in whom lower doses are insufficiently effective and in whom the expected benefits of using a higher dose opioid clearly outweigh the substantial risks. ( 2.1 , 5 ) Initiate the dosing regimen for each patient individually, taking into account the patient's underlying cause and severity of pain, prior analgesic treatment and response, and risk factors for addiction, abuse, and misuse ( 2.1 , 5.1 ) Discuss availability of naloxone with the patient and caregiver and assess each patient's need for access to naloxone, both when initiating and renewing treatment with BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE. Consider prescribing naloxone based on the patient's r

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Table 2 includes clinically significant drug interactions with BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE. Table 2: Clinically Significant Drug Interactions With BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE And CODEINE PHOSPHATE Inhibitors of CYP3A4 Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE with CYP3A4 inhibitors may result in an increase in codeine plasma concentrations with subsequently greater metabolism by cytochrome CYP2D6, resulting in greater morphine levels, which could increase or prolong adverse reactions and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression, particularly when an inhibitor is added after a stable dose of BUTALBITAL, ASPIRIN, CAFFEINE and CODEINE PHOSPHATE is achieved. After stopping a CYP3A4 inhibitor, as the effects of the inhibitor decline, it may result in lower codeine levels, greater norcodeine levels, and less metabolism via 2D6 with resultant lower morphine levels [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , resulting in decreased opioid efficacy or a withdrawal syndrome in patients who had developed physical dependence to codeine. Intervention: If concomitant use with a CYP3A4 inhibitor is
