How to purchase denosumab, the original drug of American Amgen sold in Turkey:

1. You can go to Turkey in person, but it is a long and tiring journey, language barrier, and the cost of going to Turkey in person is not a small expense and requires a lot of hard work. The most important thing is that the Turkish denosumab market is a mixed bag, and it is extremely easy to be deceived.

2. Find domestic overseas medical service agencies (such as Medical Companion Travel), and have them translate the cases, contact experienced doctors in Turkish hospitals to write prescriptions, and deliver the medicines to patients via direct mail from Turkish pharmaceutical factories. They will also provide guidance and answer questions to patients during the medication process. This is currently the most economical and feasible solution.

3. Purchasing on behalf of others: It is not recommended that you choose purchasing on behalf of others. It is easy to buy counterfeit medicines through seemingly convenient and cheap purchasing agents. On the one hand, the source of purchasing agents is uncertain, which increases the chance of buying counterfeit drugs. On the other hand, purchasing drugs itself is illegal. It’s better for everyone not to get involved.
