A member asked:
Can excedrine migraine be taken daily for constant bad headaches affecting right eye? doctor said eyes look fine.

Not the best idea: Daily use of medications such as excedrin can lead to worsening headaches (rebound headaches). Especially with prolonged use, it may lead to systemic side effects, many of which could be serious. There are better choices available for chronic daily headaches. You can work with your doctor or a headache specialist to find the best and safest medication regimen for you.

Possible rebound: If you are having daily headaches, would recommend seeing your primary doctor for help with medications to prevent headaches. Daily use of over-the-counter headache medications can cause "rebound" headaches.

Yes, but........: The excedrine everyday is ok. But you need to have the right diagnosis. "constant" anything is not accepted in medicine. You need more work up, ct of sinuses, oct of optic nerves, a visual field and lab test to rule out other illnesses. See your eye md or family physician.
