Swiss Licensed

MSN 1905 Audit:
No Conflict of Interest.

I certify your Medical Chest without selling you meds. Save money by avoiding superfluous stock with independent pharmacist consulting.

Superyacht at sea
Regulatory Foundation — MCA MSN 1905 (M+F) Amendment 4, Section 3.2

"The MCA does not specify who may be competent to carry out the annual inspection. It is good practice for this to be someone other than the ship's officer who has responsibility for the medical stores."

The regulation itself recommends an independent inspector. That is exactly what I provide.

The Captain's Dilemma

"Do I replace that antibiotic now or can I wait? Are shore pharmacies giving me advice based on safety or sales?"

Shoreside pharmacies often have one goal: selling stock. This leads to inflated budgets, wasted medicines, and constant doubt about actual MSN 1905 compliance.

You are a Captain, not a warehouse manager.

Pharmacist Portrait
The Mind Behind Marine Pharma

A pharmacist who speaks the language of the sea.

Unlike standard port suppliers, I don't see your vessel as a sales opportunity. I view it as a patient requiring precise, compliant care.

With nearly 9 years of clinical pharmacy experience in Switzerland, I understand that out at sea, there is no room for doubt.

My role is simple: I act as your independent technical consultant. I ensure you have exactly what you need to be safe and compliant with MSN 1905 regulations — not a single pill more.
