Pharmacy
Swiss pharmacies (pharmacies in French, Apotheken in German) operate under a regulated model that distinguishes them from drugstores: prescription medicines are dispensed by trained pharmacists, with a tier of behind-the-counter medicines available without prescription but on professional advice. Over-the-counter and wellness products are also widely sold, alongside dermocosmetics and nutritional supplements.

Pharmacies in Geneva
Swiss pharmacies (pharmacies in French, Apotheken in German) operate under a regulated model that distinguishes them from drugstores: prescription medicines are dispensed by trained pharmacists, with a tier of behind-the-counter medicines available without prescription but on professional advice. Over-the-counter and wellness products are also widely sold, alongside dermocosmetics and nutritional supplements.
Geneva has a dense pharmacy network with extended hours in central districts and at the airport. A rotating pharmacie de garde system ensures 24/7 cover; the duty pharmacy can be found by calling 144 or via the cantonal pharmacy association. LAMal covers prescription medicines on the federal positive list, with co-payment depending on whether a generic exists and the patient's deductible.
