Disclaimer
What this website is and what it is not, so nobody relies on it for a decision it cannot carry.
No medical advice
This website addresses pharmaceutical companies. It contains no advice on the treatment of individual patients, no dosing recommendations and no advertising for prescription medicines. Patients should speak to a physician or a pharmacist. In a medical emergency, contact the emergency services.
No legal advice, and law changes
The regulatory descriptions here are prepared with care and summarise Swiss requirements as we apply them in practice. They are not legal advice and they are not a substitute for reading the current law or asking the authority. Swiss therapeutic products law, the ordinances and the fee schedules are amended regularly, and an ordinance revision can invalidate a statement on this site between two updates. Every page carries a last updated date; for a binding statement use the current text on Fedlex or ask us about your specific case.
No affiliation with authorities
MAH Switzerland is an independent private information portal. It is not affiliated with Swissmedic, the Federal Office of Public Health, the Federal Office of Justice or any other authority, and it does not act on their behalf. Names of authorities are used to identify them, not to suggest endorsement. Links to authority pages lead to their own websites and their content is their responsibility.
Timelines and figures
Timelines quoted on this site are planning figures from our own project files. They are not promises, and authority processing times depend on the procedure, on the quality of a submission and on the questions raised in the review. Market figures are cited from industry and federal sources and are rounded for readability.
Liability
We accept no liability for decisions taken on the basis of this website alone. Contractual obligations arise only from a signed agreement, not from a web page. Where a statement here conflicts with a signed agreement, the agreement prevails.
Frequently asked questions
Can we rely on the article numbers cited here?
Use them as a starting point and verify against the current text on Fedlex, which is linked in the sources of every page. Swiss law is amended regularly and we update pages periodically, not continuously.
Is this website advertising for medicines?
No. It advertises business services for pharmaceutical companies. Where products distributed by Nico Jaroszewski are named, that is company information, not product promotion, and the Swiss advertising rules for medicines are respected.
