What is long term damage from taking 2-4 excedrin pills a day every 6 hours? i understand i should probably see a dr about the headaches. thx

Stomach ulcers: First you need to determine what type of headaches that you might be experiencing. To continue to use excedrin on a daily schedule, may lead to many other problems. Excedrin contains aspirin/nsaid, which in turn can cause peptic ulcers in addition to making our platelets less functional for a period of time. This can lead to bleeding abnormalities.
