I have copied this from Umut Cakir's post on Facebook - can anyone help please?
Dear friends
There is a very sick two years old baby here in uzumlu, and needs help, we are only looking for a drug cold LEUCOVORIN contains ( calcium folinate ). 15 mg tablets, 10 in the box.
Unfortunately we can't find them in turkiye, if any of you out there heard about this drug, or know where to get it from, or can get it for us, please let me know. I have been told it's about 15 or 16 turkish lira. Which is £5. Baby's parents ready to pay whatever is the cost.
Thank you ever so much already.

I will ask at work tmrw where it can be purchased from, and see if i can get some as i work for NHS.
I will let you know .

It's a drug that's used during Chemotherapy. Has anyone tried contacting the Oncology Departments at Antalya or Izmir University Hospital ?
-
There is an Oncology department in the Devlet state hospital and is run by Dr Muşlu

Thank you KKOB, sunlover & Rimms, I am passing your messages to Umut.
-
On researching on the internet it appears that it will only be given here in Uk if you have a prescription issued by a doctor, so i think it will be impossible to purchase and send.
I think the best idea has been suggested, an oncology dept may be able to help you.
Hopefully you get some soon

Not so sure they are unavailable in Turkey. Try using the barcode reference 8699638012060 (http://www.ilacabak.com/ilacgoster.php?ilac=LEUCOVORIN-TEVA.15.MG.10.TABLET&Id=7911) in an eczane as they should be able to order them.
KKOB is right, it is used during chemo so why don't they go back to whoever prescribed the chemo drugs?

sunlover & JohnF, thank you for trying to help. The baby has been treated in Antalya but the hospital there doesn't have any of this drug.
-
I know it's a long shot, but perhaps someone doing a day trip to Rhodes might be able to obtain this medication. That's what we were advised to do when we were unable to obtain an important drug here.
-
Not sure why a hospital prescribes a drug they haven't got, but could they not source it for them
-
I am sorry to say i had no luck at work after talking to the doctors, they can only give it through a prescription here, they have said surely the hospital the child is under can get it for them.surely if they cant supply they can source from another hospital.
-
Just to let you all know that I am waiting for an update from Umit.
-
Update.
Unfortunately, the meds have still not been sourced, so Umit is still looking.
