title: [The Swiss pharmacy: 1000 years history and some particularities].
abstract: Although largely similar to the rules that have governed the pharmacy in the bordering countries, the Swiss pharmaceutical past shows however certain aspects that distinguish it of the global development of the pharmacy in Europe. This article brings a chronological journey through 1000 years of Swiss pharmacy that evokes the most striking facts: installation of the first pharmacists, legislation, pharmaceutical literature, especially pharmacopoeias, education..., and mentions the most recent developments which under the weight of the liberalism menace the exercise of the individual pharmacy.
