TL;DR
Prescription and OTC drug prices are fixed across all pharmacies in Turkey. Supplements and cosmetics may vary, so it's worth comparing.
Drug prices in Turkey are government-regulated and identical across all pharmacies, so any nearby pharmacy will do. One convenient option is the pharmacy near the clock square, close to the A101 store.
The pharmacy known locally as 'on the hill' is a convenient choice — short walk, and they can order medications not currently in stock. Drug prices are the same as anywhere else.
Supplements and cosmetics do not have fixed prices in Turkey and can vary between pharmacies — worth comparing before buying. Medications, however, are uniformly priced everywhere.
