A member asked:

Migraine took 2 excedrine migraine at 4pm. helped for awhile, now pain is back even worse. can i take some ibuprofen? it's 9:25 pm.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Another dose: Yes, unless you have a history of ibuprofen or NSAID overuse, or stomach irritation from these medicines, you can take ibuprofen. The effects of these medicines often last only 4-6 hours, it is not surprising you feel the need for a new dose.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
