I am wondering this also, I am not a physician so I wouldn't know what to recommend.

Taking 2 excedrin is like taking:

1 500mg Aspirin

1 500mg Tylenol

& 1 cup of coffee (caffeine)

I know the Aspirin will help, I don't think the Tylenol will hurt, and it comes down to the caffeine. Would you caffeine help or hurt a heart attack? I know caffeine will cause the heart to beat faster. I guess a physician can let us know his opinion on the matter.

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.
