    Author: Wörz R, Baar H, Draf W, Garcia J, Gerbershagen HU, Gross D, Magin F, Ritter K, Scheifele J, Scholl W.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1975 Mar 14; 117(11):457-62. PubMed ID: 804624.
    Abstract:
    Six cases out of 38 women patients with persistent headache and abuse of analgesics are described in more detail. From the observations, inferences are drawn for a more specific and critical prescription of analgesics. The continuous taking of commercially available mixed preparations implicates among other risks the danger of the development or deterioration of chronic headaches. The main cause for the dependence is the barbiturate portion which is a common feature of the drugs taken.
