A member asked:

Can i take 2 excedrine migraine for a headache 5 hours after i took 2 tylenol (acetaminophen) cold and flu pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You should not: You should not take these medication so close or in combination. Excedrin has Caffeine, and Tylenol (acetaminophen) cold has decongestants, you are already taking propanolol which is a beta blocker (for some reason) The whole thing could result in tachycardia and anxiety at the least.
