First find the chemical structure of each of the compounds. Wikipedia is an easy source for that. Then follow the instructions on this page: http://www.ehow.com/how_8606871_figure-out-compound-polar-nonpolar.html

Exedrin is a mixture of paracetamol, aspirin and caffeine, each of which has it own polarity. I don't believe that it's possible to give the polarity of a mixture but its solubility will be determined by the least soluble member of the mixture.
