Many Exedrins: Exedrin is a brand name of several different products, all of which contain acetaminophen & caffeine. Several of these OTC medications also contain aspirin which can irritate your stomach causing ulcers, heartburn & gastritis. Chat w/your family doc to see if any additional testing is warranted if stopping Exedrin isn't enough. See if Exedrin w/o aspirin works. Ask about other options. Good luck!
