My husband is on the following medication following drug eluding stent operation 2 years ago.



1) Betaloc CR 23.75 other name is Metoprolol CR 23.75mg by Astra Zeneca



2) Vytorin 10/10mg other name is Ezetimibe/Simvastin tablets by Merck Sharp & Dohme



3) Inhibace 2.5mg (Cilazapril)



Please could anyone advise if they are available in TRNC & if known how much they cost.

Also how much is a visit or routine check up with a Cardiologist?.



My husband had drug eluding stent operation 2 years ago cost NZ$ 16,000 here including 2 days in Intensive care coronary. Anyone had similar in TRNC ?& if so could you please advise the cost.



Thank you for any information in advance.

if you go to the local chemist they can usually order you the drugs you need from the uk. they may also have an alternative turkish brand which would be cheaper.
