Betsy,

The barbiturate in Fioricet, butalbital, may reduce the effects of Inderal if they're taken together for more than a few days.

 

There are other factors to be considered in addition to possible interactions between these two medications -- any health issues/conditions you may have, and ALL other medications you are taking including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements, etc.

 

This question really needs to be addressed by your doctor.

 

Please keep me posted?

 

Welcome again,

Teri

I have been taking them for a long time without any problems..but I would ask your pharmist..just so you feel better.  For me they do well together, although I take each for a different reason.
