A member asked:

Does fioricet (acetaminophen butalbital and caffeine) affect birth control? my gyno prescribed my bc, and fioricet (acetaminophen butalbital and caffeine) for migraines in the same visit. i take my bc continuously without breaks.

No: However, Fioricet (acetaminophen butalbital and caffeine) if used more than 2 or 3 times a week can cause your headaches to become more frequent, what we call medication overuse headache or rebound headaches.
