Aspirin: If you do not have problem to take aspirin,consider taking Excedrin only unless if there is other information that I do not know.

Why is the dose of Excedrin Migraine limited to two pills per day even though the ingredients can be taken individually at higher doses? Two pills is 500mg each of acetaminophen and aspirin. The upper limit of both is much higher if taken separately?
