Can I buy Dupixent (dupilumab) in Turkey without a prescription?
In Turkey, Dupixent is a prescription medicine. The usual route is to get it through a hospital/clinic that prescribes biologics, then have it dispensed via a local pharmacy with access to the product. Exact availability can vary by city and by pharmacy supply.
Where to get it in Turkey (practical options)
Most people get Dupixent in Turkey through one of these channels:
- Dermatology or pulmonology/allergy clinics at hospitals, where the doctor evaluates you and issues the prescription.
- Local pharmacies that can procure prescription medicines for you, including biologics, once you have a valid prescription.
- Hospital pharmacies (in settings where the hospital dispenses specialty medicines), especially if your treatment is started through a hospital program.
Who typically prescribes Dupixent in Turkey?
Dupixent is commonly prescribed for conditions such as atopic dermatitis and certain allergic/airway diseases, so you’re most likely to be directed to care from:
- Dermatologists
- Pulmonologists
- Allergists/immunologists
What you should have ready when asking about availability
When you contact a clinic or pharmacy, have:
- Your prescription (or plan for the doctor visit that generates it)
- Your diagnosis/indication (e.g., atopic dermatitis, asthma/other eligible conditions)
- Your dose plan if you’ve used Dupixent before (so they can source the correct formulation/strength)
If a pharmacy doesn’t have it that day
If a local pharmacy is out of stock, ask whether they can:
- Order it for scheduled pickup or delivery
- Route you through the hospital pharmacy or a designated supplier
- Help confirm lead times and which strength/form is available
