Medicines Information for health professionals in Ireland
To see the importance of having an accurate medicines reference available to health professionals in Ireland, consider the level of fluctuation in the availability of medicines.
Below is a list of medicines discontinued / withdrawn from the Irish healthcare setting in the space of just two editions of IMF.
By referring to the latest edition (IMF 33, September 2023) health professionals can always keep track and ensure their medication decisions always reflect safer, more effective and evidence-based information.
