(4 pack) (4 Pack) Equate Extra Strength Headache Relief Acetaminophen Caplets, 250 mg, 24 Ct

there is nothing that I have found that makes this any different than regular Excedrin and that's awesome because it's a lot cheaper. why would you pay full price for something you can get the same thing cheaper?!

Normally - this is a great and very affordably priced generic for excedrin. BUT, I recently purchased a batch that had the expiration date July 2026 with a very strong chemical smell and taste (other reviewers describe it tasting like chlorine and I agree but it's a very intense bitter chemical taste). Both 24 caplet jars from that batch had the same issue and as soon as I realized it was limited to that batch, I threw them out (unfortunately I'd already taken some thinking it was a new formulation). A subsequent batch dated August 2026 is back to normal - so I suspect something in quality control went off for the July 2026 expiration batch. If you take it and notice a distinct taste that wasn't there before - check the bottle. I'm not sure if it's bad, but not taking my chances taking any more of those in case some component has gone rancid.

Have got to admit that I bought this on a whim to see how it compares with Excedrin (which has gotten soooo expensive!). To tell you the truth, I did NOT notice any difference. Headache went away and was able to get on with my day. At this price, I can keep a bottle in my purse, at work, and at home. Give it a try!!

Dear Lord Jesus, I pray and I thank you Equate and Walmart for providing such quality products, at ridiculous low prices and free shipping. I have personally found the Equate brand to be better than the national brands and will continue to purchase them

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) by itself and naproxen (Aleve) don't always work well with my regular tension headaches and my granddaughter's headaches from menstruation. But caffeine and aspirin added to acetaminophen work very well. Caffeine helps with headaches and the aspirin gets to the pain quicker. Works better than Midol.
