Dr. Alvin Lin answered

No free lunch: Every medication, whether prescription or over-the-counter, has side effects. Whether they're worth risk is an individual decision. Check out http://www.Drugs.Com/pregnancy/acetaminophen-aspirin-caffeine.Html. Then discuss w/your doctor. In meantime, start taking prenatal vitamins to minimize risk for neural tube defects.

I take aspirin every day (via Excedrin) for headaches. Is there anything else I can take that works as good as asprin but without the side effects? Nothing over the counter works. Even with migraine scrip I still need Excedrin, mostly bc of muscles?
