Medication in turkey over the counter

[SamEdwardWalkerCook 0]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether its possible to buy certain medications such as carisaprodal and alprazolam over the counter in turkey as it will work out so much cheaper than back here 

 

kind regards

In Turkey you can buy a lot of medications over the counter, that you would not be able to in other countries.  Sometimes it depends on the discretion of the individual pharmacies .....ie. certain medicines cost more if you don't have a presciption.    I can ask one of the pharmacies about those 2  you asked, next time I go into Çeşme ......might be about a week (unless someone else can find out earlier  ).

I would agree with Meral, some pharmacies will sell over the counter, others not.

The Aprazolam (Xanax) for example, is not supposed to be delivered without a prescription:

but you might find somewhere that will.

Are you going to bring some medicines back to your country? My concern is not about buying. It is about carrying them across the border. One of my friends who was studying in New Zealand once tried to bring a large amount of medicine (the name of which I forgot) to New Zealand (because he said medicines are expensive there). He got arrested and almost faced a drug dealing charge because they said the medicine could be used for meth cooking.
