Can Tylenol and Excedrin Migraine be taken together?

Answer 1

No. You should check the ingredients in the Excedrin Migraine. Two tablets contain 500 mg of aspirin and 500 mg of acetaminophen plus 65 mg of caffeine. You should not take more aspirin. It can cause stomach bleeding. If that dose is ineffective perhaps you should be evaluated by a neurologist and try to find a prescription drug to treat your migraines. There are several extremely ones available.

Answer 4

It is unwise to take Excedrin Migraine (or any Excedrin brand medication) with Tylenol With Codeine.

At the very least, you should be extremely careful about what doses you take.

Excedrin Migraine, or Excedrin Extra Strength, contain three ingredients. Acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin (an NSAID), and caffeine.

Each pill contains 250mg of acetaminophen. The recommended dose is two pills, so 500mg of acetaminophen.

The two Tylenol & Codeine products most often prescribed in the U.S. usually contain 300mg of acetaminophen per pill.

4000mg per 24hrs is the most acetaminophen considered safe to ingest, although studies have indicated that even 3000mg/day, when taken consistently over time, can cause liver damage.

The maximum acetaminophen that was considered safe to take in one dose was 1000mg. However, the FDA has been working to lower dosage regulations for all products which contain acetaminophen/Tylenol, due to the amount of liver injuries or deaths being reported every year. The newer dosages will not have acetaminophen dosages going higher than 500mg.

Adding to this problem is the ingesting caffeine and/or alcohol while ingesting Tylenol, can increase the likelihood of liver damage.

Therefore, read the labels of what medications you are taking.

While it is technically considered "safe" to take two Excedrin (500mg) + 1 Tylenol w/Codeine (300mg), it means you are taking 800mg of Tylenol at one time, as well as ingesting caffeine. Taking this dose every 6hrs means that you are taking 3200mg/day, which will not cause an outright fatal overdose, but over time may cause liver damage.

There other over-the-counter preparations on the market which contain NSAIDS (such as aspirin, naproxen, or ibuprofen) and have the ability to stop migraine pain in some people, even if "migraine" isn't written on the box.

While Bayer aspirin formulates many different kinds of aspirin, Bayer Back & Body contains aspirin with caffeine, and no acetaminophen. Therefore, you could take a dose of this with your Tylenol with Codeine without posing a risk to your liver. You would be getting all the same ingredients you would be getting from combining Excedrin and Tylenol w/ codeine, but in a safe dose.

You could also take a dose of ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) drink it with soda or coffee, and then take your Tylenol with Codeine.

The important thing is to real ALL medication labels and follow the dosage guidelines. Many medications contain acetaminophen, including cold and allergy medications such as Nyquil and Dimetapp.

**In generic prescription pain medications, acetaminophen is referred to as "APAP" on the bottle.
