The FOPH regularly informs interested parties, particularly licence holders of drugs on the specialities list (SL/LS), on important developments relating to the list. These notifications are published here.
Discontinuation of the printed edition of the list of specialties
Due to declining demand, the printed list of specialties will no longer be available from 2021. The monthly updated data on the list of specialties and the directives of the BAG, the provisions and introduction to the GGML (birth defect medication list) and the introduction to the list of generics can be found soon at www.spezialitätenliste.ch.
Exchange erates for SL/LS applications and reviews
The factors included in the FOPH’s assessment of the cost-effectiveness of drugs on the specialities list include the prices of drugs in nine reference countries in Europe (Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Austria, France, Sweden, Belgium and Finland). The FOPH converts foreign ex-factory prices into Swiss francs twice a year, on January 1 and July 1, at the exchange rates published here. These exchange rates are calculated on the basis of the average monthly exchange rates published by the Swiss National Bank for the previous twelve months.
Exchange rates for foreign price comparisons to the FOPH between 1 July 2021 and 31 December 2021.
