Butabarbital Elixir is used for:

Treating sleep disorders. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Do NOT use Butabarbital Elixir if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Butabarbital Elixir
  • you have the blood disease porphyria
  • you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Some medical conditions may interact with Butabarbital Elixir. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
  • if you have liver problems, lung or respiratory tract disease, or a painful condition
  • if you are in shock
  • if you have a history of substance abuse or dependence, depression, or suicidal thoughts or behavior

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Butabarbital Elixir. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

  • Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (eg, phenelzine) or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of severe drowsiness may be increased
  • Beta-blockers (eg, atenolol), clozapine, corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), doxycycline, estrogens (eg, micronized estradiol), griseofulvin, metronidazole, oral contraceptives (birth control pills), phenytoin, quinidine, theophylline, or valproic acid because their effectiveness may be reduced by Butabarbital Elixir

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Butabarbital Elixir may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Butabarbital Elixir:

Use Butabarbital Elixir as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

  • Butabarbital Elixir may be taken with or without food.
  • Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.
  • If you miss a dose of Butabarbital Elixir and you are taking it regularly, take it as soon as possible. If several hours have passed or if it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose to catch up, unless advised by your health care provider. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Important safety information:

  • Butabarbital Elixir may cause drowsiness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to Butabarbital Elixir.

  • Butabarbital Elixir may contain tartrazine dye (FD&C Yellow No. 5), which can cause allergic reactions in certain patients. If you have previously had an allergic reaction to tartrazine, contact your pharmacist to determine if the medicine you are taking contains tartrazine.
  • LAB TESTS, such as complete blood cell counts, and kidney and liver function tests, may be performed to monitor your progress or to check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
  • Use Butabarbital Elixir with caution in the ELDERLY because they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially drowsiness, depression, or confusion.
  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Butabarbital Elixir has been shown to cause harm to the fetus.

If you suddenly stop taking Butabarbital Elixir, you may experience WITHDRAWAL symptoms, including anxiety, muscle twitching, trembling hands and fingers, weakness, dizziness, hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, sleeplessness, lightheadedness, or seizures.
