New IMF Edition 35 

16 Years' of Trusted Medicines Information

Ireland’s healthcare professionals face major challenges with medicines. New discoveries, new clinical trial results and new treatments continue to arrive. Global and local medicines shortages require those prescribing and dispensing to know all the alternatives available. Generic substitution requires nurses and carers to check that patients do indeed receive the intended medication. Ongoing product withdrawals and discontinuations make switching to other treatments necessary. IMF is key to keeping up with all these issues and continuing to practice safer, effective and evidence-based medicines management.
