What You Need to Know About Excedrin: Uses, Side Effects & Safety Guide
medical professional to help me out the math is not math and yesterday I had a migraine and my husband bought me these two bxs exed migraine and ET Etc Extra Strength I was hurt so bad I was like just give me the migraine.
one I take it and about 4 hours later I’m like starting to feel bad again so I got to check how many more of these I can have I can only have two in 24 hours two well that’s not going to work so I looked at this one I was like well how many of these can I have we can have eight in a 24-hour period eight so.
then I’m looking at the ingredients they have the exact same ingredients exact same I mean same same caffeine same aspirin same everything same same same same same so why can I only have two of the migraine but eight of these.
hey I’m ethanal pharmacist let’s talk about it so the main reason for the difference in dozing is really just how it’s FDA approved gu a pharmacy hacked if you’re trying to buy Excedrin whether it’s extra strength or migraine just buy whichever one is the cheapest one for whatever you need but again the dosing.
is going to be dependent on what you’re using it for for example for mild pain it’s two tablets every 6 hours maximum of eight and then for migrain it’s only a maximum of two tablets in a 24-hour period and I’m going to show you why from the FDA themselves from a 1998 review.
on why the migraine relief is only two tablets maximum 24 hours this is a really long document but in conclusion when they did the clinical trials to get FDA approval for migraine relief the maximum dose they used was the two caplets or tablets a day so this.
is the line that really highlights it that two Excedrin Extra Strength were better than Placebo so overall then if you’re not getting that instant relief or long lasting relief with Excedrin Extra Strength this is when you want to talk to your doctor about other medications for migraines for example the trip tans.
