OK this is a long shot and posted elsewhere (where by journal is hosted) - this is a rather specific question aimed at those who have visited Turkey and needed to get medication. In this case I am refering to routine medication - I'm asthmatic.
The situation is such
I do have a fall back option, but would prefer not to have to use it (seriously expensive) and that is an online UK based medical service which will do one of two things, 1 send a prescription to a UK based pharmacy - my mother flies out less than a weeks time, or 2 - do a prescription for what I need and allow me to collect it at a pharmacy close to where I am anywhere in the world - but that assumes that the pharmacy is able to get what I need and in this case Greece apparently does not do this medication in tablet form which I have managed to find everywhere else.
So has anyone any experience of routine medication and Turkey please?
Do you know what the process is?
thanks
Emma
The situation is such
- In Finland - I had to see a private doctor to get my medication, but did not have to prove it at all and could buy what I needed in any quantity. The same applied for Sweden and Norway.
- In Lithuania - I just bought what I needed over the counter at a pharmacist.
- In Greece - I have only had to produce my repeat prescription form from the UK and if they have it, I can buy it over the counter because they will accept that as proof that is what I take.
