A member asked:

I took aleve 8 hours ago ago can i take excedrine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Excedrin contains caffeine, acetominohen and aspirin. Since you already have alleve (naproxen), a relative of aspirin, I don't recommend you're taking excedrin. Instead take plain acetominophen(Tylenol) according to instructions.
