Irish Medicines Formulary (IMF)

Irish Medicines Formulary (IMF)  Edition 29 (September 2021)

Welcome to IMF, the professional medicines resource for Irish healthcare professionals.

IMF provides factual, non-promotional and medico-legally relevant prescribing, safety and practical information for medicines, vaccines, medical devices and nutritional products.

Designed for front-line use in busy clinical practice it swiftly answers medication queries. The information is rigorously edited and updated to ensure new products are included and obsolete products are removed.

Doctors, dentists, pharmacists, locums and nurses consult IMF for medication details that are officially-approved and Ireland-specific.

There are no adverts to cause distraction. Guidance is based only on the factual details in line with Irish and EU regulation.

IMF is 100% Irish. It is completely independent with the single purpose of providing clinical content; it contains no drug advertising. The funding for IMF is sourced solely from book sales and subscriptions to the digital version.

There is ongoing oversight and input from pharmacist, medical practitioner, regulatory and government agency sources;  only official, approved content is included.

The print version is published twice-yearly in March and September and the online version is updated on a rolling basis.

It was established in 2007 and for almost 15 years has proven its accuracy and reliability.
