Turkey has very strict laws in the field of pharmaceuticals and healthcare, so there are practically no fakes in pharmacies. Last year, I collected half a suitcase of medicines. I bought only what my family needed. Why recruit unnecessary ones?

You can not import and export medicines containing drugs, those that are sold only by prescription.

Which doctor has prescribed, take them, if it so happened that in Turkey they are cheaper than in Russia. Just don't self-medicate, for God's sake.

Antibiotics are effective, ibuprofen (Brufen in Turkey) is inexpensive and available in high dosages. The main thing is to call the active substance in the pharmacy, and not the brand name, because. manufacturers are different. It's worth buying!

Medicines in Turkey are of better quality than ours, that's a fact. But most of the ones that really cost you, no one will sell without a prescription, and it's not just about drugs. It's very strict there.

I usually have problems with a runny nose, I use Flix for decent money. In Turkey, I found its analogue Mometix - excellent quality, effective and cost only $ 2. I brought several packages with me, I still use it. :)

"Ibuprofen (Brufen in Turkey)" is not an antibiotic for sure, you can buy it without a prescription
Tamiflu is cheaper than ours, it helps well with viruses and flu - without a prescription
various analgesics (Novalgin, Novaljin) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Dolorex, Voltaren, Diklomec, Dikloron, Dicloflam, Cataflam) can also be bought without a prescription

In this matter, the main thing is:
1. Mandatory knowledge of the active ingredients of drugs, especially as regards, for example, the cardiovascular system. And necessarily dosages;
2. In Turkey, antibiotics and vitamin preparations. always expensive. Antibiotics can be bought without a prescription if you agree.
3. There are no preparations in the form of nasal sprays with antibiotics and they have no analogues. The same is true in Europe.
4. Oseltamivir (aka Tamiflu) is not a drug for the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections, colds, but only a certain type of flu and strictly under medical supervision. Therefore, it is illogical to buy it for future use. Not to myself, not especially to children;
5. Yes, you can buy antipyretics, drops and sprays in the nose, sprays in the throat, painkillers, if necessary. Very popular is, for example, an enzyme preparation - Creon in different dosages. It is available in packs of 100 tablets.

"Oseltamivir (aka Tamiflu" - what is SARS and colds and flu?
SARS - Acute Respiratory Viral Infection - SARS include colds, flu and bronchiolitis.
Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. Included in the group of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI)
Does ARVI include coronavirus infection and severe forms of coronavirus infection such as SARS and MERS and 2019-nCoV? - Yes
At what viral infections and influenza is Tamiflu effective - influenza A and B, H1N1 swine flu virus, H3N2, H5N1 viruses - bird, H7N9, seasonal viruses.
Possible side effects to taking this medication are exactly the same as "antipyretics, drops and sprays in the nose, sprays in the throat, painkillers" to any other medicines. Even the simplest aspirin has standard side effects. In all instructions for any drugs - that all this should be taken under the supervision of a doctor.

Yes, it makes sense to carry.
Which? Those that you take constantly as prescribed by a doctor or for seasonal illnesses.
All antipyretic, all vasoconstrictor drops are effective and cheaper than ours. There are both international "pharma" production and local analogues.
Our compatriots often buy Plavix, a drug prescribed for life after a heart attack. In Turkey, the original Sanofi Avensis is sold, but it costs half as much as in Ukraine, and three times cheaper than in Russia.
I buy my mother a year of taking eutiroks, the price is also lower, but this is not the main thing, but the fact that in Kyiv they came across a "dummy" - a fake.

As for Tamiflu (oseltamivir) - it is there, as well as the local analogue of Enfluvir. Its relative effectiveness has been proven only for certain strains of influenza A and B. The habit of eating serious drugs, like candy, any cold is an absolute evil. But! I consider it quite logical to buy Tamiflu "for future use". It is better to throw it away after the season, if not needed, than to be in a situation where you urgently need it, but there is nowhere to buy it.
It makes no sense to buy vitamins. With this, iHerb is better.
An antibiotic "for the future" would also be nice, but we only got it with a prescription. Although from time to time I stumble on forums about stories about some secret places where some secret pharmacists can sell AB without a prescription and at a high price.

Here is a Turkish site where you can search for drugs by name or active ingredient. It must be taken into account that the spelling may vary slightly, for example "c" is often changed to "k" in the active substance.
It is convenient that there is an approximate price, in the pharmacy there will be +/- the same amount.
It is convenient that you can see the manufacturer, you can evaluate the original or a generic.
