A member asked:
Why is fiorinal (aspirin butalbital and caffeine) considered a controlled substance?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Contains Butalbatal: Which is a barbiturate a controlled substance. May have some effect on the intensity of the headache through a anti-epileptic effect. Also contains caffeine. Probably not the best treatment for headaches as it tends to worsen them if taken frequently.
