Hi all, have an elderly neighbour who had flights booked back to uk 22nd April and obviously is now locked down here who has almost run out of his medication for Parkinson's . He has enquired here at pharmacies and doctors but cannot get the same prescription. He has now ordered a supply from his doctors in uk and his daughter has put them on a shipment with DHL. I am very doubtful that they will get here, is DHL still managing to deliver here?? Does anybody have contact details, the only reference I've seen on a search is Famagusa port. Any constructive comment will be really appreciated. Thanks Gill.

They are still delivering to TRNC, I enquired yesterday but deliveries will take longer. However they will not carry...…
We do not ship drugs, including prescription drugs.
I was enquiring for scalibors, collars for dogs to protect from sand fly.

My friend has parkinsons. (He lives permanently in trnc) Maybe it is not the same kind but he takes: Madopar is the main one / rivotril / requip / plus madopar HRS. The madopar is the equivalent to simenent but could not get those in cyprus so hope this helps

My experience is that most pharmicies in the TRNC are well qualified and have great knowledge. They will know which drugs are the same or similar. Can he show them the packaging of his tablets? he could also visit a local GP? Dr Guven at The Etic in Nicosia is always very helpful. 0542 853 22 88. Good luck, you will resolve it!

YURTICI Cargo, (ARAMEX) Managed to deliver a parcel to me last week from an order bought on Amazon (UK) via Adana to TRNC for electronic mosquito zappers. Not sure about medication but try contacting the pre-mentioned carrier, the only two phone numbers I have for them on the delivery box are: (0090) 212 6566967 / (0392) 0548 8792438.

Has he thought about going back to UK on one of the repatriation flights?

Exactly I hope he can resolve his problem one way or another it is kind of you to try to help. I don’t think you can even have vitamins sent here by post or courier.
