Fioricet Tablets (Top voted first)

Will they be making Fioricet Tablets again? The capsules don't work as well on my pain.

patricia, the original manufacturer of the good old fashioned blue tabs was Watson, they sold out to Actavis. with the new regulations on Tylenol all name brand drugs that contain Tylenol now only have 300mg of Tylenol, the other amounts of ingredients has stayed the same. this is so the brand name companys can now charge more for it because of a different formulation.. you can still get the original formulation but it must be specifically written out by the dr. like 325mg Tylenol, 50mg butalbital. and 40mg caffeine. most drs are not going to do this. I was recently given a generic fioricet tablet and don't know what formulation it was but it was useless. I have taken fioricet for years with great results but this rx was awful I got no relief at all. its the same with Vicodin, it now only has 300mg Tylenol, but if written hydrocodone 5mg with 325 Tylenol that's the original formula. don't know if this helps but maybe it will explain it better. also just an fyi when I researched the fioricet it listed 35 different brand names, so there should be options out there.

@Patricia,

Do you know which manufacturer it was who originally produced the tablet form of Fioricet? If you do, I would probably encourage you to contact them directly regarding specific details on the tablet's future availability. If nothing else, perhaps they will be able to recommend a different manufacturer who may already be making these again.

Another thought is to have a compounding pharmacy reformulate it into tablet form for you. I don't know how much they charge for this service, but it could be worth looking into.

I hope this helps!

Thank you Karen & David for your help. I never thought of using a compound pharmacy, that may be the answer. Karen, I did call the new manufacturers of Fioricet and asked them to please make Fioricet in tablet form also..not just the huge capsules. I don't know if it helped? But i tried. Thanks again for your post!

I have gotten the brand capsules but are wondering if the Manufacturer will start making the brand tablets again? My Pharmacist says they dont make the tablets anymore. If you've gotten the brand tablets please tell me where you got them.
