Swissmedic Product Registry: Who Qualifies and What You Get

The Swissmedic Product Registry is a central database designed to provide the general public with official information regarding medicinal products that have been approved for use within Switzerland.

👤Who it's for

This registry is open to the general public. Whether you are a resident looking for information on a specific medication or someone managing personal healthcare, the registry is designed to be accessible to anyone seeking to verify the status of drugs in the country.

🎁What you get

By accessing the registry, you gain access to the official list of approved drugs in Switzerland. This provides a reliable way to confirm which medicinal products have met the necessary regulatory standards and are legally permitted to be distributed and used within the Swiss healthcare landscape.

💰What it costs you

There is no financial cost to using this registry. It is a free service provided to ensure that information regarding medicinal product approvals is transparent and accessible to everyone without any fees.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is to check only the official Swissmedic lists.

Always verify your information using the official Swissmedic records to ensure accuracy for the local market.
