CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Pharmacologically, butalbital, aspirin, and caffeine capsules combines
the analgesic properties of
aspirin with the anxiolytic and muscle relaxant properties of
butalbital.
The clinical effectiveness of butalbital, aspirin and caffeine
capsules in tension headache has been
established in double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-clinic trials.
A factorial design study compared
butalbital, aspirin and caffeine capsules with each of its major
components. This study demonstrated that
each component contributes to the efficacy of butalbital, aspirin, and
caffeine capsules in the treatment
of the target symptoms of tension headache (headache pain, psychic
tension, and muscle contraction in
the head, neck, and shoulder region). For each symptom and the symptom
complex as a whole, butalbital,
aspirin, and caffeine capsules were shown to have significantly
superior clinical effects to either
component alone.
