Question:
Can I take Excedrin along with these other meds?
Went to the Dr. today. Im sick with something and ive got a fever. They gave me the 5 day "Z-Pack" (aka Azithromycin) to take for antibiotics once a day. They also gave me a Nasal Spray (Fluticasone Propionate) to take twice a day. The Dr.s office is now closed, but I need to know if I can take Excedrin on top of those other meds? If any Dr. out there knows if I can do this, please let me know. I need a fever reducer. Thanks.
Answers:
According to what I checked on this drug interaction site, you can also take Excedrin (which is acetaminophen and caffeine). Since information on the net is not 100% accurate, you can call a pharmacy and check. You don't need to talk to your doctor, just a pharmacist.

P.S. Reading the other answers: Excedrin does have acetaminophen, which is a fever reducer, and they make some without aspirin. Just don't buy the Excedrin *Migraine* one, or just get Tylenol. I didn't check for interactions with ibuprophen, you can do that yourself at the link I posted above.
