INDICATIONS:
- Extra Strength Excedrin is a combination pain reliever that contains acetaminophen, aspirin and therapeutically active caffeine.
- Doctors call the enhanced pain relieving effect provided by products that contain caffeine in combination with acetaminophen and aspirin caffeine adjuvancy. And doctors believe that these non-prescription combination pain-relief products offer major advantages for headache sufferers.
- Many doctors recommend a non-prescription combination pain reliever like Excedrin as an alternative before prescription medications.
- Interestingly, caffeine is also an ingredient in many of the most frequently used prescription headache medications.
- In independent studies of patients with tension-type headache, the combination of acetaminophen, aspirin and therapeutically active caffeine was shown to provide superior pain relief over acetaminophen alone.
