Why should fioricet not be prescribed?
If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to barbiturates, acetaminophen, or caffeine, you should not take this medication.

Unless you are directed to do so by your doctor, do not take fioricet if you have porphyria (an inherited metabolic disorder affecting the liver or bone marrow).
