Irish Medicines Formulary (IMF) is a medicines reference for doctors, dentists, pharmacists and nurses, providing medicines information which is medico-legally relevant in Ireland.[1] It is published in online and print formats, and lists original brands, branded generics and pure generic prescription medicines.
Together with prescribing information, IMF also includes Irish-specific administrative information.
The book is published in paperback by Meridian Ireland,[2] and is also available online as IMF-Online.[3]
The Irish-specific prescribing information provided for each drug is sourced from the product license or Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) specific for Ireland as published on the website of the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA)[4] or the European Medicines Agency (EMA).[5] The 28th edition of the reference, IMF 28, was published in March 2021 and IMF-Online was updated with the same content.[6]

- Euro price and reimbursement, including administrative information which is specific for Ireland; e.g. Euro price and reimbursement status.[citation needed]
- Drugs in sport and driving, included "top-line information" on the use of drugs in sport.[citation needed]
