Title: Medicines in Turkey
Post by: Fastlady on December 01, 2011, 09:01:35 AM: Does anyone have the link to the Turkish website which lists the medicines available from Eczanes, with their prices.

I was prescribed a cream a few days ago and, when I went to collect from the chemist, was given a price of 48tl, which I thought a bit pricey. Yesterday I heard from a friend that the chemist I'd gone to is more expensive than others in the region - but I'd thought that the Government set the prices of medicines so would like to check the list to see if he was quoting me the correct price.

Thanks in advance.

Antibiotics will also not be sold very soon without a prescription unless the chemist is your mate of course there is always a way round it in Turkey:D
