Irish Medicines Formulary (IMF) 36, March 2025
IMF 36 Published Online - March 2025
As of March 2025, IMF is no longer available in hardcopy (books). This is due to dwindling demand as IMF users have switched to digital IMF. The digital verson will continue to be published (updated) twice yearly in March and September.
IMF-Online includes 16 chapters covering all therapeutic areas. Each chapter details medicine licensed AND marketed in Ireland i.e. available to prescribe. Key prescribing, safety and administration information for each medicine is presented in an information cascade 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 reference puts you in control.
IMF includes clear and concise explanations of HSE Reference Prices, HPRA Interchangeability (generic substitution), Additional Safety Monitoring (inverted black triangle), HSE Medicines Management Programme Preferred Medicines/Best Value Biologicals and Reimbursement Scheme (GMS or High Tech) information.
The health system in Ireland is both complicated and in many ways fragment. All the information a healthcare professional needs is 'out there' but to find it takes time and many visits to many different sources. IMF on the other hand, with a number of powerful indices together with the 16 comprehensive chapters, makes sense of a complicated healthcare system in one place.
Health professionals who deal with medication, including GPs, dentists, pharmacists, nurses/nurse prescribers, dieticians and paramedics use IMF as the compass for effective and safe medicines management.
