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.

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.

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.


Is it safe for a 12 year old to take excedrin migraine?

Excedrin (the same as Excedrin Migraine, the same as Excedrin Back & Body) contains three ingredients: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) which is safe. Caffeine which is also safe. The third ingredient is aspirin. Most physicians recommend not using aspirin in children until they are over 18 due to the risk of Reye's Syndrome.
