So I look at the box here are the ingredients:

Acetaminophen 250mg
Aspirin 250mg
Caffeine 65mg



Aren't we NOT suppose to take NSAIDs like Aspirin?

When I get a migraine I take two Excedrin Migraine at the first sign. most of the time that is enough to kick the migraine. My neph Dr. told me that for me once or twice a month is ok.

Hi,
If warning labels bother you, don't look at your immunosurpressants. One of the top side effects is kidney failure. Taken infrequently, you should be ok with the Excedrin rather than living through the pain. Good luck and stay healthy!

BD, my transplant center has had me taking 1 baby aspirin every day since transplant, if that helps.
