NO!Excedrin contains aspirin, and even the amount of a baby aspirin can cause bleeding if taken within 2 weeks before surgery.Some surgeons may say 1 week is OK, and some surgeons say ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) or Aleve or OK. But most of us will ask you to avoid all of those for 2 weeks before elective surgery.If they really believe it's OK, I think it's sort of like saying, "Well, a little bleeding might be OK and might not lead to a re-operation!"Why chance it? Tylenol will not cause bleeding, though it may not work as well as these other medications for a headache. But acetaminophen (Tylenol) doesn't cause bleeding. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Aspirin will increase bleeding and most surgeons stop aspirin 2 weeks before surgery. Tylenol is OK. Good Luck!
No, you should not take excedrin. It can also prolong bleeding during surgery like Advil. I advise my patients that they can take acetaminophen for a headache prior to surgery. It's always a good idea to check with your surgeon with questions like this before your surgery as every surgeon has their own protocol as well.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
Excedrin falls into the same category as Advil and ibuprofen. Phone your PS's office and ask what is recommended for a horrible headache.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
It would not be advisable to take any medication with aspirin a week before a surgery. This may cause complications like increased bleeding and delayed healing. It would be best to consult directly with your surgeon as each has his own protocols to follow.
Excedrin has aspirin in it and you should avoid taking this prior to surgery because of the risks of heavy bleeding.
