Irish Medicines Formulary (IMF): Meticulous Medicines Management
IMF is central to safer, effective and evidence-based use of medicines. This handbook is the catalyst for answering medication queries rapidly without the time-wasting and frustration associated with online searches.
The design and format of IMF distinguish it from other online sources of offical drug information. Rather than a dry archive of drug SPCs with minimal search facilities, IMF presents the essential prescribing and safety information for medicines in a way that specifically allows comparison.
For busy professionals, the choice of using IMF or searching for the drug information online is the difference bewteen crossing the Atlantic by private jet rather than by a crowded, lumbering ship.
IMF is the instrument skillfully used by healthcare professionals at the top of their game who insist on getting it right first time every time.
A Comprehensive Professional Resource for Healthcare Professionals

Check key administration details - dosing morning/night, with/without food/water, can a tablet safely be crushed or a capsule opened for patients with swallowing difficulties, are there any specific storage requirements for a medicines (refridgerate, do not freeze, protect from light).
With 16 chapters covering the various therapeutic areas as well as a number of powerful indices, this comprehensive yet robust medicines manual is at the heart of optimal patient outcomes.
Each new edition of IMF empowers healthcare professionals to prescribe appropriately, dispense accurately and administer medicines safely. Doctors, dentists, pharmacists and nurses refer to it daily in clinical practice across Ireland.

nutritional supplements.
IMF is designed for use in busy practice – the format allows quick and easy comparison of treatment options. Key safety information is clearly highlighted and there is no distracting advertising.
