A member asked:
Why would fiorinal (aspirin butalbital and caffeine) be considered a controlled substance while fioricet is not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fiorinal vs Fioricet: Per FDA -Fiorinal must have at least 188mg aspirin per 15 mg butalbital (188:15) to meet CSA exemption. Ratio for Fioricet is 70mg acetaminophen per 15mg butalbital (70:15). The aspirin & acetaminophen ratios were believed to reduce abuse potential for Butalbital.
