What is Fiortal Used For? Fiortal is a pain reliever and sedative. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and tension headaches.

How To Use Fiortal
To prevent upset stomach, take Fiortal with food or milk. Take Fiortal with a full glass (8 oz or 240 ml) of water unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking Fiortal. Pain medications work best in preventing pain before it worsens. Once the pain becomes intense, the medication is not as effective in relieving it. Use Fiortal exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not increase your dose, use it more frequently or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because Fiortal can be habit-forming. Also, if used for an extended period of time, do not suddenly stop using Fiortal without your doctor s approval. Over time, Fiortal may not work as well. Consult your doctor if Fiortal is not relieving the pain sufficiently. If your headache gets worse or if you should get a new headache within one day of starting Fiortal, call your doctor.

Fiortal Side Effects
May cause lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness, stomach upset, nausea, and sleeping disturbances the first few days as your body adjusts to the medication. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly. Unlikely but report promptly: rapid or irregular heartbeat, ringing in the ears, stomach pain, easy bruising or bleeding, black stools, yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to Fiortal, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, breathing trouble. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Fiortal Precautions
Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: kidney or liver disease, lung/breathing problems, nasal polyps, diabetes, stomach ulcers, blood disorders, a history of drug/alcohol dependence, high blood pressure. This combination medication contains aspirin. Children and teenagers should not take aspirin if they have chickenpox, influenza or any undiagnosed illness without first consulting a doctor about Reye s syndrome, a rare but serious illness. Use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or operating machinery. Limit alcohol intake. Fiortal may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol, especially when combined with Fiortal, may increase your risk for stomach bleeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Elderly persons are usually more sensitive to the effects of Fiortal. Use cautiously. Aspirin is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Consult your doctor before using Fiortal. Fiortal is excreted into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before you breast-feed.

Fiortal Drug Interactions

Also, tell your doctor if you take medicines that make you drowsy such as: anti-seizure drugs, tranquilizers, other narcotic pain relievers, anti-anxiety drugs, psychiatric medicine, muscle relaxants, certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine). Aspirin/NSAIDs are ingredients in many over-the-counter products. To prevent an overdose of aspirin/NSAIDs, read the labels carefully before taking other pain relievers or cold products to be sure they do not contain these drugs. Consult your pharmacist if you are uncertain your over-the-counter products contain aspirin/NSAIDs. Fiortal contains caffeine.
