What medicine do i get when i have a headache?

It depends.: It would really depend on what kind of headache you suffer under. A simple tension headache I would start with some tylenol (acetaminophen), unless you have any kind of liver disease. Anything such as migraines or cluster headaches may need further evaluation for medications. I would get evaluated by your doc.

Headache: Headache from various causes, you can try with acetaminophen first if no relief, advil, aleve, (naproxen) ibuprofen would be the next in order and exedrin migraine next, if no relief consult your doctor

Best Headache Meds: A 2014 study indicates that medication containing a combination of acetylsalicylic acid, (aspirin), acetaminophen(paracetamol), and caffeine is more effective than acetaminophen alone. http://thejournalofheadacheandpain.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/1129-2377-15-76
