Title: Blood pressure
Post by: steve the bike on August 13, 2018, 14:58:31 PM: Can anyone tell me if i can buy Ramipril plus Amlodipine over the counter to treat blood pressure, also can you get Quinine Sulfate tablets. This getting older is not to be recommended.

The best place to try is the chemists shops near the Esnaf Hospital in Fethiye but spoken english can be difficult.

They may not necessarily have exactly what you want but they'll certainly have an equivalent. The Eroglu Pharmacy / Eczanesi opposite the big supermarket, Carrefour?, in the centre of Fethiye is best. The pharmacist speaks excellent English and most expats go to him.

Took the business over from his father a long time ago so has loads of experience and will be able to advise Steve accordingly.
