Are Peptides Legal in Switzerland?
Switzerland isn't in the EU but Swissmedic operates with similarly high standards. The country has its own independent regulatory system and takes pharmaceutical regulation seriously. Unapproved peptides can't be marketed, and importing personal supplies requires caution — Swiss customs is known for being thorough. Semaglutide is available by prescription. Think of it as strict but fair, with clear rules that are actually enforced.
