I don't know the first one, but kafein is caffeine, and seker is sugar.

Ergotamin = Ergotamine which is not used often because overuse can cause worsening of the headache, gangrene and a lot of other side effects. It is only available on prescription here.

Its much easier to get medication which is prescription only in the UK over the counter in Turkey - And from what i gather they sometimes use much larger doses - which is what i would be concerned about

True - what we as adults would normally get in 250ml doses (ie antibiotics) in the UK, it is not unusual for adult doses in Turkey to be 1000ml. So pay attention to what the pharmacist tells you about how often to take any tablets, or medicine you buy at a pharmacy in Turkey.
thanks ever so much i have only taken 2 thats why it's good to ask on this site, will ask my GP i think see what they say,
Thanks guys.
Jenz
