A member asked:
My son,35, was experiencing a lot of migraines, he was taking either excedrin or advil about 3 times a week for several months, would not take more than 2 pills of either in one day, never both together, could that cause liver problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consistent use of OTC analgesics, such as Excedrin or Advil, can result in Chronic Daily Migraines, and this pattern will worsen the longer to medication persists. Frequent migraines are best handled by working with a headache specialist or a neurologist.
