Specializes in Pain Management

It depends: What you take depends on if you are treating inflammation or other pain generators. At the recommended doses excedrin can be helpful. Watch out for the caffeine content.

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?
