Is taking this headache pill called excedrin safe ?

Yes: Yes, it's safe to take an Excedrin once in a while for migrane/ tension headache. But if you have frequent headaches and have to take it regularly, get checked by your doctor first. Also, chronic use of Excedrin is also not good as you may develop tolerance or a rebound headache. Good luck!

Yes: Excedrin is a well accepted headache medicine. Pls follow the directions on the bottle. If you find you are taking them very often then certainly i would suggest visiting your primary doc. Hope this helps.
