Irish Medicines Formulary (IMF)

IMF 38 March 2026 has been published!

IMF 35 was the last edition of IMF published in hardcopy and is now only available digitally as IMF-Online. This was due to dwindling demand for the hardcopies as users continue to switch to IMF-Online.

16 chapters cover all therapeutic areas detailing every medicine licensed and marketed in Ireland. The key prescribing, safety and administration information for each medicine is presented in a cascading design 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 handbook puts you in control.

IMF-Online includes clear and concise explanations of Reference Price, Interchangeability (generic substitution), Additional Safety Monitoring (inverted black triangle), Preferred Medicines and Correct Reimbursement Scheme. With a number of powerful indices together with the 16 comprehensive chapters, this book makes sense of a complicated healthcare system. Health professionals who deal with medication, including GPs, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, dieticians and paramedics use IMF-Online as the compass for effective and safe medicines management.
