Valita, the only things my doctor allows for headaches are: tylenol and benedryl. Call your doctors office and ask what they allow. Ask to speak to the nurse, he/she can probably answer that question as well as the dr!!

I was told Tylenol products only. Such a shame as Motrin 800's were my savior for headaches, cramps, aches and pains.

Valita, to be on the safe side, I would call my surgeon or PCP. It might depend on the "type" of headache it is and your physician would be the best person to see to make a more accurate diagnosis. When all else fails, go to the emergency room-headaches are nothing to play with. Hope this helps
