Medical Access

Turkey maintains a restrictive national control regime for classical serotonergic and empathogenic psychedelics: most tryptamines, phenethylamines and classic psychedelic plants/ preparations are scheduled and not available outside authorised research or prosecution exceptions. Medical use of ketamine as an anaesthetic and analgesic is well established in Turkish clinical practice; esketamine (marketed as SPRAVATO in some markets) appears in Turkish product information sources but is not known to be broadly reimbursed by the public social security system...

Don't read stopped trials as failures: trials end early for funding, recruitment, and strategy reasons too. Status is as last synced from the registry; some 'recruiting' trials may already have finished.

Regulatory Status

The linked medical access and reimbursement guide summarises Turkey as "Medical Only (Private)". Turkey maintains a restrictive national control regime for classical serotonergic and empathogenic psychedelics: most tryptamines, phenethylamines and classic psychedelic plants/ preparations are scheduled and not available outside authorised research or prosecution exceptions. Medical use of ketamine as an anaesthetic and analgesic is well established in Turkish clinical practice; esketamine (marketed as SPRAVATO in some markets) appears in Turkish product information sources but is not known to be broadly reimbursed by the public social security system (SGK) and is administered under specialist supervision.
