How do I take Treximet?

Treximet is a tablet that is taken at the first signs of a migraine or after the migraine has started (it will not prevent the onset of a migraine). If one tablet does not provide relief, a second may be taken, but no sooner than two hours after the first one. Only two doses of the Treximet drug can be taken in a twenty-four hour period.

What if I forget to take a dose of Treximet?

Because Treximet is taken only on an as needed basis, once a migraine headache has begun, it is unlikely that a dosage can be missed. However, if the first dose does not relieve symptoms, do not take a second dose until at least two hours have passed. Do not take more than two doses in a twenty-four hour period.

What happens if I overdose on Treximet?

If an overdose of the Treximet drug has been taken, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. If the individual has lost consciousness or stopped breathing, contact Emergency Services at 911.
