A member asked:

My husband took a butalbital an hour ago for his migraine. he's still in pain. can he take a 5 mg valium now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not good: Butalbital has a sedative, a barbiturate, in it. It is not recommended that you combine valium,a tranquilizer, with it. For pain relief it's safer to take Tylenol or an anti-inflammatory like Advil or Aleve ,with food,instead.
