## What is AcikEczane?

AcikEczane helps you find open and on-duty pharmacies across Turkey — whether you're a tourist needing medicine at 2 AM or looking for the closest pharmacy during the day.

WHY ACIKECZANE?

Turkey has a unique pharmacy system: outside regular business hours (nights, Sundays, and public holidays), only designated "on-duty" (nobetci) pharmacies remain open. AcikEczane shows you exactly which pharmacies are available right now.

KEY FEATURES

- FIND PHARMACIES INSTANTLY
  View all nearby pharmacies on an interactive map. The app automatically switches between daytime mode (all pharmacies) and nighttime mode (on-duty pharmacies only) based on the current time.

- SEND SECURE MESSAGES
  Have a question about medication availability? Message the pharmacist directly. All conversations are protected with end-to-end encryption — no one else can read your messages.

- SHARE PRESCRIPTIONS SAFELY
  Take a photo of your prescription and send it to the pharmacist. The app automatically detects and masks personal information (name, ID number) before sending, protecting your privacy under Turkish KVKK data protection law.

- GET DIRECTIONS
  One tap to open Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Yandex Maps with directions to the pharmacy.

- WORKS IN EVERY TURKISH CITY
  Coverage across all 81 provinces of Turkey — from Istanbul and Antalya to smaller towns. Search by city, district, or pharmacy name.

- SMART TIME DETECTION
  The app knows Turkish public holidays and weekends. It automatically shows on-duty pharmacies when regular pharmacies are closed.

- COMPLETELY FREE FOR PATIENTS
  No subscription required. No hidden fees. Just find your pharmacy and go.

LANGUAGE SUPPORT

The app interface is available in English for international visitors. Please note: pharmacists will respond in Turkish. We recommend using simple language or translation tools for communication.
