Butalbital

Combination products such as Fioricet and Fiorinal for tension headaches and migraines contain butalbital, an intermediate-acting barbiturate that represents the most frequently encountered barbiturate in clinical toxicology, pain management compliance monitoring, workplace drug testing, forensic investigations, and driving under the influence cases. UTAK’s barbiturates and comprehensive drugs of abuse panels contain butalbital in both serum and urine matrices at multiple concentration levels, supporting immunoassay screening and GC-MS or LC-MS/MS confirmatory methods. Stock and custom QC solutions can incorporate additional barbiturates such as amobarbital, pentobarbital, phenobarbital, and secobarbital, along with other controlled substances to support drugs of abuse and pain management QC programs.
