Pharmaceutical compounding
We produce sterile and non-sterile compound preparations in small batches to order for other pharmacies, doctors and hospitals in accordance with the “Rules of Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products” from the Swiss Pharmacopoeia.
Pharmaceutical compounding can be carried out by public pharmacies and hospital pharmacies that hold a cantonal production license which allows them to make formulations that are not available on the market accessible to patients. By doing this, Bichsel makes an important contribution to improving basic medical care. We hold both a cantonal and a Swissmedic manufacturing licence, and we manufacture all our preparations in compliance with the applicable GMP guidelines.
Production according to the compound prescription is done in line with GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practice) in accordance with the Pharmacopoeia Helvetica (Swiss Pharmacopoeia). This include the initial analysis, the manufacturing, the documentation and the risk analysis (in accordance with Swissmedic). We hold both a cantonal and a Swissmedic manufacturing licence.
