Import medicine

Hi,


So, another question, is it possible to ship perscripted medicine within the EU to Switzerland?


Thanks!

yes. So long as you aren't screwing a public health system (such as the NHS). Good idea to declare the medicine on a customs form.

That said, If you have a valid script you may be able to obtain medicines over the counter.


 I have done this in the sunstore by suppling a UK prescription and having a quick talk with the pharmacist.

What do you mean? If I have a vaild prescription from Sweden I can get my medicine here over the counter?


I actually got my pills delivered to my door in 2 days. So I guess it's alright :)

Well, if your medicine is state sponsered, exporting the medication is illegal. For example, I am from the UK and when a resident there I recieved free treatment and medication. It was legal for me to take take this medication to switzerland for trips and holidays but once I became a resident it is then Illegal in the UK.


 


I was able to use my UK prescription to obtain a few medications relating to Hypothyroidism over the counter in the sunstore. But I did pay full rates.


 


If you can get your medication from your home country then great! Just make sure you won't be introuble with your insurance/health service in that country. If you require medicines from your prescription, perhaps when you run out and your new ones havent arrived, you should be able to obtain them over the counter.
