Abstract

The authors assessed the prevalence of headaches following extended-release dipyridamole/aspirin combination (DAC), and the efficacy of acetaminophen in the treatment of these headaches. Following DAC, 38.7% of the participants developed headaches. The headaches were self-limited (69.4% placebo efficacy in 2 hours) and the incidence markedly declined over time. Acetaminophen was no more effective than placebo in the acute and preemptive treatment of these headaches.
