I don't recall a prescription list from my surgeon, however, my list of o.k. drugs is primarily Tylenol (Acetominophen) products. I know Excedrin is on the extensive list already posted, however, the Excedrin Quick Tabs do not contain the aspirin that the regular Excedrin does. The Quicktabs (dissolve in the mouth or chew up - taste like a rolaids) are Acetominphen and a little caffeine. I get horrible headaches and regular tylenol doesn't do a thing for them, but for some reason, the quicktabs work like a dream.
