Excedrin selling for hundreds of dollars on eBay

The products were pulled off store shelves in January after the manufacturer learned some bottles might have been contaminated with stray tablets from other medications.

Experts say relief can be found with generic versions of the drug.

"If it has the same amount of aspirin, acetaminophen and caffeine, the ingredients in Excedrin, it should work just as well," ABC News Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser said.

In a statement, Excedrin's parent company, Novartis, says it expects to get some of its products back on store shelves later this year.
