Illegal drug shipments to Switzerland are increasingly coming from European Union countries. In 2022, only 9% of illegal packages came from the EU, while last year this figure reached 40%. The packages mainly come from France and Germany, while shipments from India and Eastern Europe have decreased.
Swissmedic warns of health risks and points out that foreign providers are operating as alleged Swiss online pharmacies. Although the number of illegal shipments has increased by 17% compared to 2024, the situation remains relatively stable. The most common packages contain medications for erectile dysfunction, but those with hair loss treatments and hormonal preparations have also increased./Albinfo.ch/
