Coffee and tension headaches

The state that people with migraine can take over-the-counter (OTC) pain medications for mild or moderate migraine pain. This includes pain medications with added caffeine, such as Excedrin, which contains acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine.

An individual may take medications containing caffeine at the first sign of a migraine.

However, it is important to speak with a doctor about the symptoms, particularly if someone does not yet have an official diagnosis of migraine. The symptoms of migraine can be similar to more serious conditions that require medical attention.

A doctor can also advise on how best to use medications for migraine to avoid medication overuse headaches, or rebound headaches.

For symptoms that do not respond to these OTC options, a doctor can prescribe migraine-specific treatments, such as triptans.
