🩺 Essential Guide to Duty Pharmacies and Prescriptions in Turkey

How do duty pharmacies (Nöbetçi Eczane) operate in Turkey?
Regular pharmacies in Istanbul operate from 09:00 to 19:00 Monday to Saturday and are closed on Sundays. Outside these hours, on weekends, and on public holidays, designated duty pharmacies remain open overnight until 08:30 AM the next morning.
Can I purchase prescription medicine without a prescription in Turkey?
Basic pain relievers and vitamins are available over-the-counter. Antibiotics, narcotics, and specialized medications strictly require a valid Turkish physician prescription or electronic prescription code (e-Reçete).
How can I find medication if the brand name is different?
Show the pharmacist the active pharmaceutical ingredient (Etken Madde) written beneath the brand name on your medication box, and they will provide the exact bioequivalent available in Turkey.
