Excedrin in Pregnancy: Risks & Safer Alternatives

Avoid Excedrin (aspirin/acetaminophen/caffeine) in pregnancy, especially third trimester. Aspirin risks: fetal bleeding, premature ductus arteriosus closure, maternal hemorrhage. Occasional use in first/second trimester is lower risk but still not preferred.

Safer options: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) per OB/GYN guidance. Always consult your provider before taking any medication.
