Excedrin Migraine is a compound containing acetaminophen and caffeine. You should consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are concerned about taking any prescription or over the counter medication. First line drugs for Migraine are preferable to acetaminophen or caffeine, especially Triptans. For best results, seek the advice of a headache specialist in your area.

∙ 11y agoBefore changing your Migraine management strategy, always contact your doctor for advice. Your medical history, current adjunct medications/supplements/vitamins will influence this answer and be different for every Migraine patient. Normally patients are discouraged from using multiple medicines within the same medication class at the same time. This can result in toxicity and organ and tissue damage. That said, there are times when using drugs from the same class simultaneously may be occasionally appropriate, but only your doctor is qualified to help you make that decision.
For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and other headache conditions, please seek the help of a board certified Migraine and headache specialist who has received additional training in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these headache disorders and diseases.

Can I take Excedrin Extra Strength if I am allergic to codeine?
Yes. Excedrin Extra Strength and Excedrin Migraine contain acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. None of these would trigger a codeine allergy.
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.

Yes, you can take Excedrin Migraine and Imitrex within 12 hours. You can even take them at the same time. Excedrin Migraine contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and caffeine. All of these are safe to take with Imitrex - which is a triptan medication and works by a different mechanism than the medicines in Excedrin Migraine.

Can you take excedrin migraine 4 hours after taking ibuprofen?
The short answer is yes. Ibuprofen and Aspirin are both drugs that are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). If you took a standard dose of aspirin for pain (325-650mg) and were still experiencing some discomfort you can take so ibuprofen. I would recommend taking it with food to reduce stomach upset.

Can you take methadone and excedrin migraine together?
Yes, you can take methadone and Excedrin Migraine together. Methadone is a synthetic opiate medication used to treat pain and also combat the withdrawal symptoms of heroin. It is used to treat heroin withdrawal because it puts an opiate in the system of the patient, but does not provide the euphoric rush that heroin does. Excedrin Migraine contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin (an NSAID), and caffeine. None of the ingredients in Excedrin Migraine should interfere with methadone use.
