How it works

How to read a label

  1. Find the medicine

    Search by brand, substance or Swissmedic number and open the Swiss record.

  2. Choose the language

    German, French or Italian — the same official text in each of Switzerland’s national languages.

  3. Go to the section

    Indications, dosage, contraindications, interactions or undesirable effects, in the order AIPS publishes them.

In detail

What the Swiss label text includes

Swissmedic publishes the approved product information for Swiss medicines through AIPS (Arzneimittelinformations-Publikationssystem). We ingest the open AIPS bulk download and keep the full text of each entry in German, French and Italian — the professional information (Fachinformation / information professionnelle) with its standard sections, from composition through pharmacokinetics.

The text comes back as text, not as a PDF: you can search it, quote it and link to it. Each entry carries its document type, the date it is valid from and the date we last captured it, so you always know which version you are reading.

01 · Text

Searchable, in section order

Composition, indications, dosage, contraindications, warnings, interactions, pregnancy, undesirable effects, overdose, properties and pharmacokinetics, as published.

02 · Languages

DE / FR / IT

The same approved text in each official language; pick the one you work in, or compare them side by side.

03 · Dates

Valid-from and last sync

Every text carries the date it is valid from and when it was last captured from AIPS, which is checked for changes daily.

04 · Sourcing

From the AIPS publication

Taken from the open Swissmedic AIPS download. We surface the published text; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by Swissmedic.

For developers

The same answer, as one API call.

Request a monograph by record id and language; receive the AIPS text with its document type and dates.

Coverage & sourcing

  • Swiss medicines with an AIPS entry, in German, French and Italian.
  • The full text in the published section order, with document type and valid-from date.
  • From the open Swissmedic AIPS bulk download, checked for changes daily.
  • Label text for other countries is not served today.
  • Monograph reads need the drugs:read scope.
  • A record without a Swissmedic number, or without an entry in the requested language, returns an explicit 404.

FAQ

Questions about Swiss label text

More answers in the docs FAQ
What is AIPS?
AIPS is the Swissmedic publication system for the approved product information of Swiss medicines. We read its open bulk download and keep each entry as text in German, French and Italian.
Which languages are available?
German, French and Italian, the languages in which Swiss product information is published. Developers pass lang=de, fr or it.
Is it the whole text or a summary?
The whole published text, in the official section order — composition, indications, dosage, contraindications, warnings, interactions, undesirable effects and the rest — with its document type and valid-from date. Nothing is summarised or rewritten.
How current is the text?
The AIPS download is checked for changes daily. Each text carries the date it is valid from and the date we last captured it.
Do you have label text for other countries?
Not on this page today: the label text served here is Swiss (AIPS). Records for other countries show the register data — substance, ATC class, packs, prices where published — without the label text.
