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.
- In three clinical studies, 94% of patients needed only one dose of Extra Strength Excedrin to relieve tension-type headache pain.
- Extra Strength Excedrin is available in three forms: Geltabs, Tablets, and Caplets.

WARNINGS:
Children and teenagers should not use this medicine for chicken pox or flu symptoms before a doctor is consulted about Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness reported to be associated with aspirin. Do not take this product if you have asthma, an allergy to aspirin, stomach problems (such as heartburn, upset stomach, or stomach pain) that persist or recur, ulcers or bleeding problems, or if ringing in the ears or a loss of hearing occurs, unless directed by a doctor. Do not take this product for pain for more than 10 days unless directed by a doctor. If pain persists or gets worse, if new symptoms occur, or if redness or swelling is present , consult a doctor because these could be signs of a serious condition. As with any drug, if you are pregnant or nursing a baby, seek the advice of a health professional before using this product. It is especially important not to use aspirin during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless specifically directed to do so by a doctor because it may cause problems in the unborn child or complications during delivery. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, seek professional assistance or contact a poison control center immediately.
Alcohol Warning: If you consume 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day, ask your doctor whether you should take aspirin/acetominophen or other pain relievers/fever reducers. Aspirin/acetominophen may cause stomach bleeding or liver damage.
