Similar product in UK is Migril

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.

just googled it http://www.medicinenet.com/ergotamine-caffeine-belladonna_alk-oral/article.htm Would say you should consult your GP before taking them - let him know they worked for you and he will confirm whether ok to carry on taking them

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.
