Turkey OTC

👋 hope this is allowed.

Wanted to ask if anyone here is from/lives in Turkey. How easy/is it possible to purchase hydrocortisone over the counter?

(I am already on HC from my NHS endo but ones I had from Turkey are the only ones that don’t give me severe gastro issues so I’m thinking I need to source some, somehow)

Last year I bought a few months supply of methylprednisolone without any problems. I too have been pondering about getting some HC from there. It exists, i think in 10mg tabs? I haven't gone there this year so haven't tried to buy any, but I don't think it shouldn't be a problem. Sourcing from overseas might be more difficult, i didn't find any when i recently looked online, but i didn't dig too deep. Good luck.

There is a particular brand - Genkort - and it is sublime! They do 10mg tabs, no gastro issues at all. I’ve tried two other brands and it’s deathly what they do to my GIT.

I think a little holiday to Turkey might be on the cards but got to ensure I’ll be able to buy it if I do go…

You had me there! I thought you were getting Christmas ready and wondering about getting a festive bird. In August, I thought.....
