Excedrin Migraine and Headache Tablets 20s

Excedrin is a highly popular over-the-counter combination medication primarily used for the fast-acting treatment of acute headaches and migraine attacks. Its triple-action formula targets head pain from multiple angles, providing effective relief when you need it most.

Triple-Action Formula: How It Works

Each tablet combines three active ingredients:

• Aspirin (250mg) — A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain.
• Paracetamol (250mg) — An analgesic that acts directly as a pain reliever and fever reducer.
• Caffeine (65mg) — A mild stimulant that constricts blood vessels and significantly amplifies the pain-relieving effects of both aspirin and paracetamol.

Dosage & Directions

For adults aged 18 and older only. Always swallow with a full glass of water.

• For headaches: Take 1 or 2 tablets every 4–6 hours as needed.
• For migraines: Take 2 tablets at the first sign of a migraine attack or aura. Repeat every 4–6 hours if necessary.
• Maximum daily dose: Do not exceed 6 tablets in any 24-hour period.
• Do not use for more than 4 days for headache or 3 days for migraine without consulting a doctor.
• Use with caution in the elderly, as this group is more prone to adverse events.

Warnings

• Not suitable for those under 18 years of age.
• Do not use if you are allergic or have a hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose.
• Do not take with other paracetamol or aspirin-containing products.
