Welcome to Healthcare Magic
This drug contains paracetamol, aspirin and caffeine. You could be allergic to any of these drugs. You can take a tablet phenaragan or cetrizine for relief and consult your doctor about this to get the medicine changed.

General & Family Physician,  Dr. Jitender Chauhan's  Response
Hello, welcome to HCM. Excedrin contains a combination of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. It doesnt contain penicillin as per your query. You must be allergic to one of the components of it. You should take a note of it and always tell your doctor in future before taling any medication. You can take tab cetrizine twice daily till your symptoms get relieved or visit a doctor if symptoms persist for long. Wish you good health.

Strict vegetarian diet.
