An English-speaking pharmacy in Geneva, on the lakeside
For more than 40 years, Pharmacie de Cologny has looked after both local families and the many international residents of the Geneva lakeside. Our team speaks four or more languages, English included, so you can discuss a symptom, a treatment or an insurance question without struggling for the right word in French.
We are in the village centre of Cologny, on the left bank of Lake Geneva, a few minutes from Vésenaz, Collonge-Bellerive, Vandœuvres and the Eaux-Vives district. Many of our patients live nearby; others work at international organisations, banks or schools across the canton and stop by on their way home.
Moving to Switzerland changes a few habits. Painkillers are not sold in supermarkets, many medicines need a prescription from a doctor practising in Switzerland, and basic health insurance (LAMal) works with a deductible and a co-payment. Our pharmacists take the time to explain all this, check your treatment for interactions and suggest what you can safely take without a prescription.
- Prescriptions filled, with pick-up or home delivery in Cologny and nearby communes
- Vaccinations without a doctor’s prescription for anyone aged 16 or over
- Compression stockings, breast pump and crutch rental, travel health advice
- Prescriptions sent online through our secure prescription form
Frequently asked questions from expats
Do you speak English at Pharmacie de Cologny?
Yes. Our pharmacists and pharmacy assistants serve patients in English every day, and the team speaks four or more languages in total. You can also write to us in English by email or through the contact and prescription forms on this site.
Can I use a foreign prescription in Switzerland?
A prescription written abroad is not automatically valid in Switzerland, and the medicine must be authorised here. Depending on the product, our pharmacist may be able to dispense a Swiss equivalent or offer a solution after a consultation, but narcotics, benzodiazepines and many other medicines require a prescription from a doctor practising in Switzerland. Medicines on a foreign prescription are not reimbursed by Swiss basic insurance, so bring your prescription and packaging and we will advise you on the quickest route.
What are your opening hours?
We are open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 18:30, and on Saturday from 08:00 to 12:30. We are closed on Sundays. Please note the lunchtime closure, which is common for Swiss neighbourhood pharmacies.
Do you deliver medicines to my home?
Yes. Our own delivery driver brings medicines and orders to homes in Cologny and the neighbouring communes, discreetly, with an average turnaround of about four hours. Products from our online shop can also be posted anywhere in Switzerland. See our home delivery page for the areas covered.
How do I send you a prescription?
Upload a photo or PDF of your prescription through our online prescription form, email it, or bring it in. We check availability, prepare your medicines and contact you if anything needs clarifying. You then choose pick-up at the pharmacy or delivery.
Can I get vaccinated without an appointment?
In Geneva, pharmacists trained in vaccination can vaccinate anyone aged 16 or over without a doctor’s prescription, for example against flu, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) or Covid-19. Walk-ins are possible when a vaccinating pharmacist is available; calling ahead is the best way to avoid waiting. Children under 16 need to see a doctor.
How does health insurance work at a Swiss pharmacy?
Everyone living in Switzerland must take out basic health insurance (LAMal) within three months of arrival. Prescribed medicines on the federal list are covered, after your annual deductible (CHF 300 to 2,500 for adults) and a 10% co-payment. Show your insurance card and we can usually bill your insurer directly. Staff of international organisations are often covered by their own scheme instead; we provide detailed receipts for reimbursement.
Where can I find a pharmacy open at night or on Sunday in Geneva?
Geneva pharmacies take turns on duty in the evenings, on Sundays and public holidays; the current rota is published by the cantonal pharmacists’ association (on-call pharmacies open 08:00–23:00), and Pharma24 near the University Hospitals is open around the clock. For medical advice out of hours, call Centrale Santé Genève on 0800 116 117 (free, 24/7); in a life-threatening emergency, call 144. Our on-call pharmacy guide explains the options.
