Commercial terms
This is the page a procurement officer looks for before opening a sourcing enquiry. It states plainly what we are, what we are not, and how handover and verification work. Nothing here is a marketing claim; where we cannot commit to a figure, no figure is given.
What an enquiry should include
- INN (international nonproprietary name) — this is the field that prevents the most errors.
- Brand, where a specific originator product is required rather than any equivalent.
- Strength and presentation (vial, pre-filled syringe, tablet; pack size).
- Quantity, and for a treatment course the cycle interval and number of cycles.
- Required timeframe.
- Destination country, and who will receive the medicine at handover.
What we can and cannot provide at handover
- Pharmacy invoice
- The dispensing pharmacy in Türkiye issues the invoice for the medicine it dispenses, itemised by product, presentation, pack size and quantity.
- Batch number and expiry per pack
- Printed on the carton of every pack handed over, checked against the pharmacy invoice at handover, not taken from a generic product record.
- İTS karekod on the pack
- Turkish packs carry an İTS karekod printed on the pack, encoding GTIN, serial number, batch and expiry. The buyer verifies the karekod, batch and expiry physically against the pharmacy invoice at the point of handover.
- Certificate of Analysis
- Requested from the dispensing pharmacy where the manufacturer releases a Certificate of Analysis for the batch. It is never promised in advance; where the manufacturer does not release it to a pharmacy or sourcing party, that is stated before anything is procured.
- Temperature record for cold-chain medicines
- For 2–8 °C products, the medicine travels accompanied in a qualified cold box for the duration of the journey, with a calibrated data logger inside. The logger record is shown to the buyer at handover.
- In-person handover record
- Pharmacy Remedy hands the medicine to the buyer or their named representative in person, and records who received it and when. There is no courier consignment note and no proof-of-delivery document issued by a third-party carrier.
Cold-box handling
- 2–8 °C products travel accompanied in a qualified cold box for the journey duration and season — there is no courier consignment for these products.
- A calibrated data logger travels inside the cold box; the downloaded record is shown to the buyer at handover.
- Where an excursion occurred, the record is shown as it is and the medicine is not handed over until it has been assessed.
- Ambient products (most oral targeted therapies) travel without a logger; the storage condition printed on the pack governs.
How replies are given
Every enquiry receives an individual written reply for the specific medicine, strength, quantity and destination, normally within 24 hours. No price appears anywhere on this website in any language: a published price for a prescription medicine is treated as advertising in most jurisdictions our buyers are in, and is specifically prohibited in several.
Because Turkish reference prices and the pharmaceutical exchange rate are revised by the Ministry of Health on a published schedule, a reply given for one enquiry is not a standing price and is reconfirmed if an order is placed later.
No published MOQ, payment terms or lead time
We do not publish a minimum order quantity, payment condition or lead time anywhere on this site. Every enquiry is answered individually, in writing, for the specific medicine and destination.
This is deliberate. What is achievable depends on the medicine, what a specific pharmacy has in stock, and the destination country's import position at the time of the enquiry. A published figure would be wrong more often than right, and a buyer would be entitled to rely on it.
What the buyer needs to hold
- For institutional buyers, whatever licence your own regulator requires to receive and handle prescription medicines.
- Where the destination country requires an import permit or a licensed importer of record for the consignment, that is arranged by the buyer, not by us — we discuss this honestly before procuring anything.
- A valid prescription for the named patient or, for institutional orders, the prescribing arrangement in place at the buyer's own facility.
Prescription requirement
We procure prescription medicines only against a valid prescription. No exception is made for urgency — an urgent case is handled faster where realistically possible, not with less documentation.
If a pack does not check out at handover
- The medicine is not accepted: if the İTS karekod, batch or expiry on the pack does not match the pharmacy invoice, the buyer declines it at the point of handover.
- We go back to the dispensing pharmacy directly to query the discrepancy.
- We do not hold stock or a warehouse, so there is no recall process to run on our own account; any recall for a dispensed batch is a matter between the buyer, the pharmacy and the relevant authority.
- We tell the buyer plainly what we can and cannot resolve rather than promising an outcome we cannot deliver.
How an enquiry is handled
1. Send the enquiry
INN, brand where a specific originator is required, strength, presentation, quantity, required window and destination country.
2. Receive a written reply
An individual written reply for the specific enquiry, normally within 24 hours, stating what we believe is achievable.
3. Confirm prescription and permits
A valid prescription is required for prescription medicines. Where the destination requires a prior import permit, that is the buyer's own route, discussed honestly before we procure anything.
4. We procure the medicine
We locate and procure the medicine ourselves through a licensed pharmacy in Türkiye. The dispensing pharmacy issues the invoice.
5. In-person handover
We hand the medicine to the buyer or their named representative in person. Where a cold chain applies, the medicine travels accompanied in a qualified cold box for the journey.
6. Verification at handover
The buyer checks the pack's İTS karekod, batch and expiry against the pharmacy invoice, and the logger record for cold-chain items, before accepting the medicine.
How Pharmacy Remedy Works
Four steps, from your first question to handover.
Step 1
Ask about the medicine
Tell us the medicine name, strength, quantity and destination country.
Step 2
Availability check
We check whether the medicine is obtainable through licensed Türkiye pharmacy channels.
Step 3
Prescription and quote
Send your prescription. You receive a written quote within 24 hours.
Step 4
In-person delivery
Delivered by hand, with the invoice and karekod verification at handover.
A valid prescription is required. Medicines are sourced through licensed Türkiye pharmacy channels; the licence belongs to those channels, not to Pharmacy Remedy.
Other buyer types
Request the product list
Institutional buyers — hospitals, oncology centres, clinics, licensed importers and wholesalers — can request the current list of medicines we can look into sourcing through licensed Türkiye pharmacy channels. The form captures the details needed to answer a sourcing enquiry properly.
Frequently asked questions
Why are no prices shown anywhere on the site?
Publishing a price for a prescription medicine is treated as advertising in most jurisdictions our buyers are in, and is specifically prohibited in several. Every enquiry gets an individual written reply, normally within 24 hours.
Is a written reply a fixed price?
It is our best answer for that enquiry at that time. Turkish reference prices and the pharmaceutical exchange rate are revised on a published schedule, so a reply is reconfirmed if time has passed before an order is placed.
What is the minimum order quantity?
We do not publish one. Sourcing a single pack for one patient is normal for specialty and oncology medicines; what is achievable is confirmed per enquiry.
What licensing do we need to hold as a buyer?
Whatever your own regulator requires to receive and handle prescription medicines, plus any import permit or licensed importer the destination country requires. Arranging that permit or importer is your own route — we discuss it honestly before procuring anything.
What happens if a pack does not match the invoice at handover?
The buyer declines it at the point of handover. We are not a warehouse or distributor, so we cannot run a formal recall ourselves; we go back to the dispensing pharmacy to query the discrepancy directly.
