Fear of accidentally high doses of caffeine is founded, especially if you don't fully trust the measurement or quality (e.g. for those sourced from a certain knock-off-prone online retailer).
- elliekelly 6y agoExcedrin is acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine so it helps with the headache and allows you to taper off the caffeine. I trust the accuracy of GSK’s dosage infinitely more than I trust some gas station caffeine pills for college kids.
- robocat 6y agoI think worrying about measurement or quality is being over-cautious. Caffeine is not difficult to source high purity since it is added to drinks etc, and is extracted AFAIK, so risks of quality issues are low. Measurement risks are low because 100mg is a sizeable percentage of the pill volume, so it would be very difficult to reach a bad dose (let alone a lethal dose of 100 pills). 100mg is what you might get from a large or strong cup of coffee. If worried, buy a known brand from a pharmacy for maybe the price of two coffees.
