Why Did You Take Excedrin Off The Market (Page 2)

Updated

I can't take aspirin so I have been taking aspirin free excedrin. All of a sudden I can't find it anywhere. Am told that they recalled it because they found glass in it.

I'm a reporter working on a story about people who are suffering because they have been unable to get Excedrin. If this applies to you please call me today at 212-456-5944

Vanquish by Bayer has same ingredients and I tried it while waiting for Excedrin to come back on the market. I guess it works okay, but somehow not the same as Excedrin.

I am not addicted to excedrin and only use it whenever I have a severe headache. Most of the time I would only take 1/2 of a pill and it worked. I woke up with a headache this morning, went to Walmart and bought the store brand. I took one pill and an hour later nothing. I took another pill and after 6 hrs it finally started to subside a little bit but not completely gone. So IMO, the store brand DOES NOT work even close to as good as Excedrin. I smell some Bovine Fecal Matter coming on with the new Excedrin!

"Mid-year"? That can't be true. It's the end of July already. Mid year is passed. Sure hope they hurry and get Excedrin back on the market. I hate using all my prescirption headache medication but Excedrin is the only other thing that actually works on them..so what to do? And no, the store brands are not compounded the same way as Excedrin so they don't work nearly as well..if at all.

Just found out Excedrin PM no longer available as I infrequently use 1/2 to help with insomnia. I find it better than prescription Zimovane. Any suggestions for an otc substitute?

NO you are not addicted to Excedrin.. You are addicted to the CAFFEINE in Excedrin (so am I). Once it wears off you get a headache again! Excedrin works so well, they know you will keep using the product.
I miss Excedrin as it worked so well. Wish they would bring it back soon. I take too many of the generics, though I find Rite Aid generic is much better than CVS.

I took excedrin for at least 30 years, and it was the only thing that worked for me. Just as many of the generic
medications don't work well for everyone, excedrin in my opinion, is the prime example, NOTHING works as
well, and I sure hope they don't change a single thing about excedrin. I did have to quit taking them on a daily
basis because the llining of my stomach was being eaten away. I also believe that I was addicted to them,
however, I still feel very adamant about the effects of this product. When I get a headache today, I still prefer
excedrin over any other medication, even preseription
drugs. You can have 100 people use the same recipe, and you will have 100 different varieties of that recipe. I
believe it's how they cook, bake, or whatever they do that makes excedrin such an exceptional drug.

Your opinion of these drugs acting the same is false. They say mid-year production will resume.

For people who feel store brand does not work as effectively as Excedrin, I would recommend chewing the tablet into small pieces and taking with water instead of swallowing the whole tablet. That will speed up the absorption rate of the drug. I suspect that the reason Excedrin is not back on market is because Novatis manufacturing site in Lincoln NE has other GMP issues and FDA does not give green light to resume manufacturing.

The active ingredients are the same but the "filler" is different which is why the off brands can make them! Which makes the pill not work as good in some people!

Wal-Mart's brand was a joke for me. The joke cost money so it wasn't THAT funny of course...

We just picked up some Excedrin for Migraine so I'll see how it works. I only take it (one) very occasionally though when I have a headache

I purchased excedrin pm a few months ago from Target and am out of it again. I went all over looking and asking for it. It's off the shelves once again. What gives? I am getting tired of this.

In my case the Wal-mart Equate works very well for me so I can use the store brand to get the same results. Excedrin PM is a different story though. I only need to use it a few times a year and did not even realize it had been pulled until a couple of weeks ago. I checked on line and Amazon has it but is charging $40 for a bottle of 24 plus $4.95 S + H. Talk about taking advantage of people who really need this product. It did not make me feel very good about Amazon. Hopefully it will be back on the market soon and Amazon can just keep their high priced bottles.
