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.

In the time of the French occupation of Geneva and the formation of a << Départment du Léman >> from 1798 to 1813, the physician Louis Odier published a Manual of practical medicine destined for the Health officers of the Departement. This work encloses at its end a short pharmacopoeia, till today practically unknown in the pharmaceutical bibliography, which is described here. An analysis shows that this formulary does not belong to the popular literature but is corresponding, with some exceptions, to the other similar pharmacopoeal works of the Enlightenment.

The Swiss pharmacist and professor of pharmacy, F.A. Flückiger, made eleven trips to Italy. His first journey took him to Naples but he also visited Rome, Venice, Florence, Sicily and the coast of the Liguria several times. His diary as well as his documented voyage reports allow us to reconstruct his routes, the places visited and the means of transportation used. They show the wide range of interests of Flückiger who observed nature, history and geography of the places visited.

Los estudios biográficos permiten destacar la actividad de los farmacéuticos al servicio de la ciencia a través de la historia y demostrar quien entre ellos ha realizado aportaciones a las diferentes disciplinas científicas en los distintos periodos históricos. La Farmacia suiza cuenta con una decena de farmacéuticos que desde el siglo XVI al XX han contribuido de manera diversa al progreso científico. Sus biografías permiten establecer una serie de factores importantes que jalonan la historia de la farmacia como por ejemplo: la botánica, el coleccionismo, las sociedades científicas, la Universidad, la industrialización en el siglo XIX. Se permite en este análisis que el farmacéutico ha ocupado sempre una posición central en el desarrollo científico (AU)
