Excedrin is an over-the-counter headache pain reliever, typically in the form of tablets or caplets.

In 1986, there were two Seattle area deaths from ingesting cyanide-laced Excedrin capsules.

 MAGNUM, the National Migraine Association: Excedrin Migraine Marketing Draws Criticism from Advocacy Group
WESTPORT, May 28 (Reuters) - In a new ad campaign for Excedrin Migraine, which recently received OTC marketing approval from the FDA, Bristol-Myers Squibb is not conforming to FDA guidelines for the appropriate use of the drug, according to a statement issued by the Migraine Awareness Group: a National Understanding for Migraineurs (MAGNUM).
Specifically, the migraine patient advocacy group believes that although the package insert states that Excedrin Migraine is approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate migraine pain, and that a physician should be consulted if headache pain worsens or if unexpected symptoms occur, the company's television and print advertisements do not make this clear.
Instead of seeing a physician, migraine patients may increase Excedrin Migraine dosage if pain is not adequately relieved and this may lead to the onset of rebound headache.

 MAGNUM Press Release May 1998
Over-medication using Excedrin® Migraine, or other OTC pain medication, can, in turn, cause 'rebound headaches,' which, in turn, can lead to the taking of more OTC medication, the onset of more rebound headaches, and the re-triggering of even more serious Migraine attacks.
The FDA issued their statements on Excedrin® Migraine after taking into account three clinical studies which demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of Excedrin® Migraine for alleviating pain associated with some Migraines.
Although the studies may have demonstrated the effectiveness of the drug in alleviating pain associated with certain migraines that may be characterized by some as severe, the FDA chose to restrict their Excedrin® Migraine approval statements to the treatment of mild to moderate migraines.
