TL;DR

For suspected sinusitis in Alanya, contact your travel insurer and see a doctor, as antibiotics including Augmentin generally require a prescription. A pharmacy can help identify a local equivalent using the international active-ingredient name from an existing prescription or medicine pack.

If treatment was started at home, bring the package or note the active ingredient’s international name in Latin letters. An Alanya pharmacy can identify a local equivalent if it is available over the counter or prescribed by a doctor.
