Irish Medicines Formulary (IMF)

IMF Edition 35 is a compact A5 book produced in full colour and built to last. IMF 35 is the last edition of IMF published in hardcopy. From March 2025 IMF Edition 36 will only be available digitally as IMF-Online. This is due to dwindling demand for the hardcopies as users continue to switch to IMF-Online.

16 chapters cover all therapeutic areas detailing every medicine licensed and marketed in Ireland. The key prescribing, safety and administration information for each medicine is presented in a cascading design to ensure users can find the details they need quickly.

From licensed indications, dosage, potential drug-drug interactions, contra-indications, side-effects and pregnancy to price, reimbursement, storage conditions, use in sport and effects on ability to drive, this medicines handbook puts you in control.

IMF includes clear and concise explanations of Reference Price, Interchangeability (generic substitution), Additional Safety Monitoring (inverted black triangle), Preferred Medicines and Correct Reimbursement Scheme. With a number of powerful indices together with the 16 comprehensive chapters, this book makes sense of a complicated healthcare system. Health professionals who deal with medication, including GPs, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, dieticians and paramedics use IMF as the compass for effective and safe medicines management.
