REPORT

Sherocky, this is a controlled substance, so it is only available in the U.S. via a doctor's prescription. The price may vary from pharmacy to pharmacy, dosage, amount dispensed, and etc.

Butisol may cause side effects, such as nausea, impaired memory, suicidal ideation, apnea, skin rash, and constipation.

Is there anything I can help with?
