Bupap Information:

• What

What is Bupap?

Bupap contains two pain-relieving drugs: butalbital and acetaminophen. Butalbital is a barbiturate drug and a central nervous system depressant. Barbiturates enhance the effects of the GABA neurotransmitter and acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer with mild anti-inflammatory properties. The way in which these drugs work in tandem to effectively relieve tension headaches is not completely understood.
