This "discontinuation" isn't on GSK's website nor Excedrin's website.

This happened a few weeks ago before coronavirus really became a major story (yes, I know...FR was all over it early). I also know the FDA can shut down sales of medicine due to production issues, but this reads like GSK took production offline by itself.

There is enough hysteria and conspiracies about coronavirus already. Nonetheless, there are LOTS of people who depend upon Excedrin for their migraines, and they were already impacted by a recall in 2012.

This MAY be worth watching.

How long will corona virus survive on inanimate surfaces?
That should be the minimum amount of time we do not accept imports from China.

"for their migraines..."

I have helped fives ladies I've know over the years for their migraines problems...stop eating sugar free foods/stuff that is artificially sweetened.

Read the back of everything one buys to look for artificial sweeteners and do not buy it.

I use that stuff too occasionally, for convenience sake (or a generic)... But if you really need the compound for your headache, (assuming you take two of the Excedrine) take* 500Mg of Acetaminophen, 500 Mg of aspirin and drink some coffee, tea or cola for the caffeine.

The Walmart house brand equivalent is about a third the price or less.
