Merhaba Rasyte,

 Most of the medicines can be obtained in the world are available in a Turkish pharmacy. Turkish pharmacists can also offer some basic health advice, administer injections,take your blood pressure and treat minor injuries. Some pharmacies can even order medicines from abroad.

There are plent of pharmacies in all Turkey´s big towns and most sizeable villages will have one too.

In towns there is always a duty pharmacist (nöbetçi eczane) who provides a 24 hour sevice, other pharmacies will have details of whose turn it is to be the nöbetçi displayed in the window.

If you go to a Turkish doctor it is almost unheard of to leave without a prescription for three or four seperate items even if there has been no clear diagnosis of your illness. Partly this is a cultural problem-people don´t expect to get better unless they have taken pills.

In general medicines are cheap by international standards although the cost can mount up when you are always buying multiple items.

People with state health insurance usually pay only 10 % to 20 % of the cost of any medication. There can be some suprises over price.

I´d like to give you some info : There is rules and regulations to open a farmacy in Turkey.
