What are the effects of fiorcet? is it dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is dangerous: Fioricet is extremely dangerous, because butalbital can stop someone's breathing and the Tylenol (acetaminophen) in the medication is very toxic to the liver in high doses. Always speak with your physician before taking any medication.
