Can you take excedrin migraine with alka seltzer?

That combination sounds heavy on the liver and stomach, buddy. If the doctor clears it, maybe try focusing on proper hydration and a light evening walk to ease the tension instead of double-dosing on meds. Often, fresh air and movement work wonders for mild headaches.

I have seen many people make the mistake of mixing OTC meds. Please don't do this, as both have active ingredients that overlap and can cause severe stomach irritation or bleeding. Keep it simple and ask a chemist or your local family doctor for one proper medication.

My college-going son tried taking random combinations like this for his exam headaches and ended up with terrible burning in his chest. I had to take him to the clinic where the doc scolded us. Please just stick to one doctor-prescribed medicine, do not mix these things at home.

It is quite risky to combine Excedrin and Alka-Seltzer because both contain aspirin. Mixing them can lead to an accidental overdose of salicylates, which is bad for your stomach lining. It is always best to consult a general physician before combining such over-the-counter drugs.
