Save money with generics

Compresse e pillole sono appoggiate accanto a un barattolo con tappo a vite aperto e appoggiato su un lato.

On 1 January, a higher deductible of 40% was introduced in Switzerland for original medicines covered by statutory health insurance that are also available as generics or biosimilars. The federal government wants to promote the purchase of cheaper medicines and thus reduce the costs of medicines under basic insurance.

You can find out more about why generics and biosimilars are cheaper and check if there is a generic equivalent to your medicine on our website.
