oh dear , I got caught out like this , I went to the area round the Esnaf hospital in fethiye, there are several good chemists shops there, i just went from one to another till I got what I needed, they dont speak much english,

Take the packet or wrapper of the meds with you if you have it, they may have to look it up and offer the Turkish equivalent... good luck I am sure you will get what you require!!!   if you have to get the turkish equivalent its a bit of a leap of faith but it worked for me!!!

needs a call to his doctors then tomorrow, if he can remember the uk docs surgery name that is, getting the wrong dose could be quite serious. 

I order my prescription on line, when i go online it tells you the dosage, if he orders online maybe logging in will help but I am presuming rather a lot!!!!

I'm making a dangerous assumption that someone knows what colour the prescribed ones are.

Red and white are definitely 5mg in the UK. Blue and white are 10Mg in the UK.

Hope this helps

And yellow and white are 2.5mg, the lowest dose available I believe.

We're going out to Calis on Weds this week and always take a copy of our repeat prescriptions with us in case we need them.[hr

Madmart - sometimes the 10mg are dark green and white in the UK, depending on the manufacturer, I know as I'm on 10mg myself. To the OP, if all else fails try the chemist in Fethiye (opposite H2O cafe) if it's still called that.
