Flu vaccination at the pharmacy

Starting in 2015, flu vaccinations will be administered at the pharmacy. Our pharmacist Markus Messerli has completed a course on vaccinations.

Light therapy

From mild mood swings in winter to full-blown winter depression, known in technical jargon as SAD (seasonal affective disorder), light therapy works wonders. 30 minutes to 1 hour of exposure to a strong light therapy lamp per day is sufficient.

 

Medication portioning

Do you have trouble taking your medication? No problem, we have the perfect solution: thanks to the Pharmis medication portioning system, medication can be dispensed into weekly dosettes or weekly blister packs. This is supported by health insurance companies.

We would be happy to advise you on this.
