Many British expats and visitors to Switzerland enjoy a mobile lifestyle, residing in different parts of the country throughout the year. Whether it's seasonal living in a charming chalet or exploring the country on holiday, these dynamic lifestyles can sometimes present challenges when it comes to healthcare routines, particularly obtaining medications. Traditional healthcare systems might not always seamlessly cater to these mobile habits. As a result, British expats and holidaymakers may encounter occasional difficulties when refilling prescriptions while residing elsewhere in Switzerland.
How can Pharmacy Planet get your medication to you?
Obtaining your medication is straightforward. To ensure we dispense it safely and effectively, we may sometimes ask for some additional information from you. Here's what you might need to have handy:
- Medication Details: The medication name, dosage, and quantity prescribed by your doctor.
- Medical Background: Briefly mentioning any relevant medical conditions and current medications you're taking can help.
- Doctor Confirmation: In some cases, especially for medications requiring close monitoring, we might need verification from your doctor.
We understand this might seem like a bit more legwork than elsewhere. But rest assured, these steps are in place solely for your safety and well-being. Our team is always happy to answer any questions you have about the information required.
Pharmacy Planet is one of the UKs leading online pharmacies specialising in a wide range of prescription medicines.
What information do I need to consider?
Swiss Medication Laws: Having knowledge on Swiss regulations for your medicine is highly important. Though Pharmacy Planet can offer guidance, being complicit with Swiss law rests solely on the recipient.
Delivery Options: We offer two delivery options to get your medicine to you:
- UK Delivery: If your preference resides with obtaining your medicine prior to travelling to Switzerland, we can organise delivery to an address in the UK that you can obtain your medicine from. Most patients will opt for this route if they are getting ready to go on holiday and need to obtain spares of their current prescription before going on holiday. The most commonly sourced spare medicine that we receive requests for is a Ventolin Inhaler.
- Direct Delivery to Switzerland(if possible): We may be able to arrange direct delivery to Switzerland depending on Swiss customs laws and regulations.
Necessary Travel Papers: Should Swiss authorities need this, Pharmacy Planet can provide documentation verifying your prescription and the medical necessity of your medication on request.
