The pharmacy department at the Mendota Heights Walgreens said the product will be back on the shelves around Oct. 21, but noted that they offer a generic over-the-counter alternative, which is currently in stock.

Excedrine Migraine was one of several products recalled by Novartis in January after an internal investigation and complaints of "broken gelcaps, chipped tablets and inconsistent bottle packaging line clearance practices."
