Neocitran Extra Strength contains 650mg of acetaminophen. Per tablet, Excedrin Migraine contains 250 mg per tablet.
The FDA is now recommending a limit for acetaminophen of 600mg per dose (the max used to be 1000mg per dose), due to the potential for liver damage. 4000mg is the limit for 24 hours, but people who are consistently taking acetaminophen can begin to experience liver damage at 3000mg.
In short, you should not take them together. But if you did take one tablet with the Neocitran, it probably won't hurt you if this is only for the short term.

Can you take excedrin migraine and dayquil same day?
This depends how much Excedrin Migraine or how much Dayquil you are having. Both Excedrin (Extra Strength or Migraine) and Dayquil contain acetaminophen (Tylenol). An overdose of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, sometimes liver failure. You should not be taking more than 1000mg of acetaminophen in a six hour period of time, and no more than 4000mg in a 24 hour period. Each tablet of Excedrin Extra Strength or Excedrin Migraine contains 250mg of acetaminophen. So, each dose contains 500mg. Each tablet of Dayquil contains 325mg of acetaminophen. Each dose contains 650mg. It is up to you to add up what you are taking so that you are not taking more than is recommended. If you think you may have overdosed on acetaminophen, seek emergency care. The sooner they are able to treat you, the more likely it is they can help save your liver.
Can you take Ativan and Ritalin together?
Some people are able to take Ritalin and Excedrin together, some are not. Several different formulations of Excedrin (Excedrin Extra Strength, Excedrin Migraine, Excedrin Back & Body) have three different ingredients: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Aspirin (a non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory) Caffeine (one dose = 2 tablets = 2 cups of coffee) Ritalin is a stimulant medication. Some people will be able to handle taking Ritalin along with extra caffeine in their diet (on top of any caffeine-based drinks they already intake - coffee, soda, Red Bull and other various energy drinks). Always speak to your doctor. Note: There is always the option of matching whatever dose of acetaminophen and aspirin you would be taking from the Excedrin, and leaving out the extra caffeine.

Can you take Sudafed non drowsy with ibuprofen?
You should not take Excedrin Migraine and Ibuprofen together, because Excedrin Migraine (and regular Excedrin Extra Strength) contains Aspirin, which is in the same NSAID category that Ibuprofen is. Taking them together can increase the risk of damage to the stomach lining, which can cause ulcers. It is not recommended to even take Ibuprofen with the low-dose aspirin used to prevent heart attack and stroke, because Ibuprofen can wipe out the protective quality you are taking the low-dose aspirin for. Excedrin Tension Headache contains the Acetaminophen and Caffeine, but not the Aspirin, and this would be safe to take with Ibuprofen.
