How to buy the right medicine in Turkey?
We advise to use the following scheme:
- specify the name of the active substance of the drug you are interested in or find out the ATC code of the drug (ATC Kodu - anatomical-therapeutic-chemical classification code)
- provide this data to the pharmacist in the pharmacy and he will show you the medicines with the required composition.
- For prescription drugs, you will be asked to present a prescription from a Turkish doctor. You may also be asked to show the prescription when crossing the border.
You can check the average cost of medicines in pharmacies at www.ilacrehberi.com or www.ilactr.com. To do this, enter the Turkish name of the drug and add the word fiyat (price).
