Irish Medicines Formulary (IMF)[1][2] is a medicines reference for doctors, nurses, pharmacists and dentists,[3] providing medicines information which is medico-legally relevant in Ireland. As of March 2025, the publication will only be published in digital format (IMF Edition 36 due for publication during March 2025).[4][failed verification]
Together with pricing and prescribing information,[5][6] IMF lists original brands, branded generics and pure generic prescription medicines.[7] Also included are drug interaction and dosing details.[8]
