Answer 3

You can definitely find all medications you need in any major city in Turkey.  My only concern is that (just as is the case for any prescription-drug in the U.S. or Europe) you may need a valid prescription for those drugs, and I am not sure if a prescription from outside of Turkey can automatically be used in a Turkish pharmacy.  Probably if you stop by a pharmacy, which as the other users noted is an "ECZANE", they can tell you an easy way to obtain a "prescription" or even just accept your non-Turkish prescription.  But, in the very worst case they may refer you to a Turkish doctor who can quickly give you a valid prescription.
