Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Vasograin has the composition of ergotamine tartrate 1 mg, caffeine 100 mg, paracetamol 250 mg, prochlorperazine maleate 2.5 mg. Ergotamine is the main headache medication and the maximum dose is 6 mg per 24 hours. So if you are taking 1 tablet of vasograin it should be fine.
There is a long list of side effects with any medications so if you are taking it as prescribed you should not be concerned regarding toxicity. If you have any cardiac conditions or history of stroke, I would recommend talking to your physician to prescribe some other medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shivam Om Mittal
