Evidence-based, Ireland-specific and Independent Prescribing Information
Three Reasons for having IMF in your practice:
It is independent. No drug-advertising, no marketing. Just the factual data required for effective and safer prescribing.
It is fully-complete. All medicines licensed and available in Ireland. All original brands and all generics. And medical devices, vaccines and nutritional products in one place.
It is Ireland-specific. The only English-language formulary within the EU! All information in IMF is relevant to Ireland. Base your prescribing decisions on information that is legally and practically appropriate for Ireland.
Prescribing Information tailored for busy professionals
The entire design and format of IMF is geared for providing health professionals with answers to medication queries rapidly. This powerful medicines handbook details dosing for all special populations:
* Adults
* Elderly
* Children (no additional book required!)
* Renal Impairment
* Hepatic Impairment
* Pregnancy
* Breastfeeding
* Contraindications
* Precautions
* Adverse Effects
* Drug Interactions (including what type of interaction / what action might need to be taken).
Approval for Specific Medicines, Reimbursement, Reference Pricing and Interchangeability
Even for established doctors, medicines pricing and reimbursement in Ireland are complex.
There are several drug reimbursement schemes in operation (PCRS/GMS, High Tech, Long-Term Illness, Drug Payment Scheme): some drugs require approval which the doctor must obtain before the pharmacist can dispense (Dabigatran, Edoxaban and Rivaroxaban). IMF clearly displays the Euro pricing and the reimbursement details relevant to Ireland.
There is no other single place where you can access the essential information for Ireland's medicines, medical devices, vaccines and nutritional products.
