What Are The Side Effects Of Fioricet?
I take fioricet occasionally for migraines and have taken it for many years, lately I am experiencing leg and foot pain when I take it ( both legs and feet) my dr retired and I see his replacement he does not feel this can be a side effect of this medication, can this be a side effect and should I be concerned?

Hello,
No, Fioricet does not cause foot and leg pain. Detailed Answer: Side effects: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, dry mouth, shaking (tremor), shortness of breath, increased urination, lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness, or trouble sleeping may occur.
If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To reduce your risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.
Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes, fainting, seizures, fast/irregular heartbeat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
