Ingredients. Common ingredients in Excedrin are aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), acetaminophen (paracetamol), and caffeine. Excedrin Tension Headache is a little different because it does not contain aspirin. Each geltab (or coated tablet or gelcap) contains 500 mg of acetaminophen (paracetamol) and 65mg of caffeine.
Excedrin Extra Strength Pain Reliever is an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine for pain. Excedrin combines three medications-acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine-for pain relief. Acetaminophen changes the way your body feels pain, aspirin works by reducing the body's production of prostaglandins (natural substances that cause fever, pain, and inflammation), and caffeine is a mild stimulant.
