How much caffeine in excedrin migraine?

I get really bad migraines sometimes, and Excedrin Migraine usually helps. I was wondering, how much caffeine is actually in one of those pills? I try to keep track of my daily caffeine intake.

Excedrin Migraine has about 65 mg of caffeine per tablet, which is quite a bit. I used to pop painkillers like sweets for my headaches instead of checking why they happened, and it ended up ruining my stomach health. Please get your migraines checked by a proper neurologist instead of self-medicating.

Beta, these English medicines have high caffeine to make the pain go away quickly. It has around 65mg in one pill, so please don't take too many. Drink some warm ginger water and try to rest in a dark room when your head hurts.

Be very careful because 65 mg of caffeine per tablet can quickly add up and shoot your blood pressure high. If you already have hypertension, taking these pills can cause sudden palpitations. Always consult your doctor and monitor your BP regularly.

Each tablet contains exactly 65 mg of caffeine, alongside paracetamol and aspirin. My physician told me that while caffeine helps the pain reliever work faster, taking it too often can lead to rebound headaches. He advised me to limit these to only once or twice a week at most.

Yes, it has around 65 mg of caffeine per pill. As a diabetic, I have to be careful because high caffeine doses can sometimes affect blood sugar levels and sleep patterns. Make sure you are eating properly before taking such strong pills.

It has about 65mg of caffeine which is almost like a cup of tea. If your migraine is very bad, please consult a doctor instead of taking this often. You can also try applying peppermint oil on your forehead or drinking a warm cup of herbal tea for some gentle relief.
