Question 1

is it okay to take excedrin a day after taking benzonatate?

Accepted Answer

Why are you: taking Excedrin?  You haven't given much in the way of symptoms that would indicate the need.  That being said, there should be no contraindication to using so long as you have taken Excedrin before without adverse effects.

Question 2

can i take excedrin if i'm taking benzonatate and claritin-d?

Accepted Answer

Which excedrin?: avoid the excedrin formulation with caffiene, as it can interact with the claritin-d (the 'd' part), you can take only plain tylenol, wish you wellness

Question 3

i'm taking 100mg of benzonatate 3x's day /4, days now have had cough for 10days. can i take a double does for bed so i can sleep. i am waken from cough?

Accepted Answer

Ask prescribing doc: Please check with your physician to confirm this is acceptable to him or her--without knowing if you have other health conditions or what exactly you are dealing with now, it would not be wise to tell you to take anything other than the prescribed dose. I will say that the maximum daily dose of Benzonatate is 600mg, and it is often prescribed in the 100mg or 200mg capsules.

Question 4

what happens if i take 6-7 excedrin every day, will i eventually die?

Accepted Answer

Are you  feeling: suicidal? Do you want to die by a slow route? Please forgive me if this is not the case, but I am concerned by your question. If you are having thoughts about killing yourself,  get seen at the nearest emergency room now. Have a friend or relative drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call the National suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) .

Question 5

is it safe to take 3 excedrin tablets in one day?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: While 3 tablets would probably be unlikely to cause adverse effects in most people, the maximum recommended dose is 2 caps per day.

If I were looking for additional pain relief, I'd probably reach for additional aspirin before taking anything with more acetaminophen, as this ingredient of excedrin can cause serious liver damage in higher doses.

Question 6

what happens when you take too much excedrin in one day?

Accepted Answer

Death: Since the amount is not specified, Excedrin contains a combination of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine.  Acetaminophen taken in excess can cause liver failure and death.  Do not take more than the amount recommended by the product packaging without consulting a physician.

Question 7

but i am only supposed to take 3 benzonatate a day. they work well but only last about 4 hours?

Accepted Answer

Assuming cough: is the problem, you need to find the cause of the cough and treat it rather than just treating the symptom.  If the prescribed med is not holding you for long enough, there are stronger medications that can be prescribed, though not through an online consult.  See someone.

Question 8

is it ok to take 1 tablet of excedrin migraine every day? usually wake up in the middle of the night with a headache and take one excedrin migraine ( i have had migraine since i was 22 now 57 but not as bad any more)

Accepted Answer

Any : Any headache that actually wakes you out of a sound sleep is very worrisome.  It is a symptom that needs a visit to a physician and a thorough work up, possibly including MRI of the brain and eeg.  If the work up is negative, then taking a tablet of Excedrin migraine daily is ok.

Question 9

my son,35, was experiencing a lot of migraines, he was taking either excedrin or advil about 3 times a week for several months, would not take more than 2 pills of either in one day, never both together, could that cause liver problems?

Accepted Answer

: Consistent use of OTC analgesics, such as Excedrin or Advil, can result in Chronic Daily Migraines, and this pattern will worsen the longer to medication persists.  Frequent migraines are best handled by working with a headache  specialist or a neurologist.

Question 10

can you take meloxicam and two excedrin migraine in the same day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: However, Meloxicam and the 250 mg in each Excedrin can irritate your stomach and put you at risk for ulcers if taken frequently.
