EXCEDRIN TABS

Product Info

Each tablet of Excedrin contains three active substances:
acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), paracetamol and caffeine.

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and paracetamol reduce pain and fever, and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) also reduces inflammation.
Caffeine is a mild stimulant and increases the effect of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and paracetamol.

Excedrin is used for the acute treatment of headache and migraine attacks (symptoms such as headache, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound and functional disability) with or without aura.
