Baffled OTC MIGRAINE MEDS COMPARE THE LABELS...

Had to run to Walmart the other AM to get Migraine meds for S_Breeze1 . And compared the labels and the ingredients on various brands including the cheaper store brand in this case it is the "Equate" brand. She has been using "Excedrin Migrane " for a long time now.
Never having checked the labels before myself. I didn't know this either Other then a major difference in price between the major brands and store brands I figured there had to be a difference in the ingredients RIGHT?? Well I looked at the store brand and compared the ingredients of the there regular version of "excedrin" and the "excedrin migraine" Well there absulutly no difference 250mg Tylenol 250mg asprin 65mg caffiene.
I bought the regular version didn't tell her and her headache went away "I had to find out if it worked " sorry hunny but it did work and we saved gobs of cash too.. 100 coated tablets $2.27 regular version. 100 coated caplets $4.47 "Migraine version" Saved $2,20 all because I compared the labels and the single "WORD" migraine. So in closing all I will say in look look look maybe just maybe the pharmasutical companies will get the hint oneday that we have had enough of the price gouging........ "SAME PILL DIFFERENT SHAPE DIFFERENT LABEL ADD A WORD CHARGE A HIGHER PRICE" = CONSUMER RIPOFF........ NUFF SAID
