Can Excedrin Be Taken Before An Incisional Hernia Surgery?

Hello I m very panicked here?I have surgery tomo morning at 10:30 am? It s an incisional hernia, and my daughter brought me two excedrin at 7 am thinking it was tylenol because it says acetametaphen in big letters on the bottle? I ve read that excedrin has a half life of 2 to 4 hours so my question is will I be ok for my surgery? Please tell me that just the two will be ok? This surgery is very well needed, thank you in advance! Can t you offer advice without a cost or possibly tell me where I can find answers please??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Exedrin contains aspirin, paracetamol, cafeine and is a pain killer for migraine treatment.
It contain aspirin which can cause increased bleeding during surgery and should not be taken for 10 days prior to surgery.
