Snippet from 'Men's Fitness' - December 1999
Keeping the energy up, to press on regardless as we try to tolerate pain, any kind as well as headaches can be daunting. Here is a little boost for those problem days.
'Caffeine is a safe addition to over-the-counter pain relievers, boosting their effectiveness on tension and migraine headaches by as much as forty per cent, according to a panel of experts convened by the Nation Headache Foundation.
"We concluded that caffeine significantly increases the effectiveness of analgesics like aspirin and acetaminophen," says panel leader Jerome Goldstein,M.D., director of the San Francisco headache Clinic.
The panel discounted caffeine's association with rebound headaches, where pain is caused by an excessive use of headache medication, and withdrawal headaches. While symptoms can occur from caffeine withdrawal in those who consume it regularly, Goldstein and his colleagues note that the effects of physical dependence on caffeine are generally mild and are not an important factor in the occasional use of pain relievers.'
