What to know about Beyoglu
Beyoglu’s steep streets, rooftop bars and street food bring walking injuries and upset stomachs. Busy nightlife areas have pharmacies near the centre, but late at night only the on-duty pharmacy stays open.
A short checklist
- The address of your accommodation, in case the pharmacist requires to confirm your details.
- A note of allergies and other medicines you take.
- Your passport, because the prescription is linked to your passport number.
- Cash or a card; some pharmacies prefer cash at night.
If you have no prescription
If you need medicine and do not yet have a prescription, an on-demand doctor is available 24/7 by video and can send an e-prescription by WhatsApp or email if treatment is appropriate.
How on-duty pharmacies work in Turkey
- The name and address of the on-duty pharmacy are generally posted in the window of every pharmacy in the area.
- Pharmacies (eczane) are marked with a red E sign.
- Bring your passport, cash or a card, and your old medicine packaging.
- A rota decides which pharmacy in each district stays open overnight, on Sundays and on public holidays. This is the on-duty pharmacy.
- At night you may need to ring a bell or knock, as the on-duty pharmacy commonly serves through a small window.
