TRIANAL TABLETS/TRIANAL CAPSULES are controlled medications. Butalbital is habit forming (tolerance, mental and physical dependence) and potentially abusable. Some patients, particularly those who have abused drugs in the past, may have a higher risk of abusing or developing an addiction while taking a barbiturate-containing product such as TRIANAL TABLETS/TRIANAL CAPSULES. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects when you stop taking this medicine. Continuous daily use of TRIANAL TABLETS/TRIANAL CAPSULES should be avoided as medication overuse (rebound) headaches may result in addition to the tolerance and dependence risks. Patients should take TRIANAL TABLETS/TRIANAL CAPSULES for as long as it is prescribed, in the amounts prescribed, and no more frequently than prescribed.

While there are important differences between physical dependence and addiction, each is a reason for close medical supervision and honest discussions with your doctor. If you have questions or concerns about abuse, addiction or physical dependence, please tell your doctor.
