Can Fioricet, Crestor And Aspirin Be Taken Together?

I have just been prescribed Fioricet. I am taking Crestor 40 mg and aspirin 325 mg. Are these safe to take together?? I am 81, have a pace maker and have an aneurysm which is being treated by a neurosurgeon who prescribed the Fioricet., but seems impossible to reach. I am concerned about liver damage. I do not drink. Thank you for answering. Patsy Lemmons Franklin, Tennessee

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Fioricet is having combination of acetaminophen, caffeine and barbitol. All these are hepatotoxic and centrally acting (acts on brain) pain killers.
They can affect liver.
So better not to take along with crestor and Ecosprin.
You are should take fioricet after breakfast and crestor, Ecosprin after lunch.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
