I am considering buying rapamycin from Turkey, as it seems the closest choice in the EU so far.
Can you share your sites in Turkey where you or someone you know have bought rapamycin from? (and if possible some details like date of purchase, manufacturer, brand, quality etc, is it ok to carry a bag with supplements and rapamycin through check-points)

Most Turkish pharmacies don’t ask for prescriptions so you should be able to go to any pharmacy and buy it. However, they might not have it in stock so you could call a few before. It’s OK to fly with supplements and drugs and go through safety. There are two pharmacies at the airport (IST), before passport control, you might be able to buy it, they speak English but better to call them beforehand as well (and they might be more expensive).

You can bring prescription medication with you when flying into the EU, but there are some restrictions. In general, you’re allowed to carry up to about a 3 month supply for personal use, and you should keep it in its original packaging with your name on the prescription.

Be aware that customs in some EU airports pay closer attention to passengers arriving from countries like Mexico, India, or Turkey, they may specifically check bags for prescription medicines.

What you say is true. That being said I always buy medications in Turkey and then fly to the UK or the EU and never had any issue. Should there be a control you can always print a prescription at home beforehand with your name on it and the problem is solved.

Could it be possible to buy online (from the EU) from Turkish farmacies?
