Mims Book
Each month an extended monograph of products and presentations that have recently been launched on the Irish market is included at the front of MIMS Ireland. Drugs can be included in MIMS Ireland if they have a Product Authorisation number (PA number) and therefore have an SPC, or unlicensed drugs that are GMS/HT reimbursable.
If it is to be removed, the note will show 45/1 RM If it is to be replaced the note will show 45/1 60/1 A note may or may not have any additional text added, that's up to the user and the field conditions. Prior to the SMART symbols being introduced a user would create two text blocks, one for the existing text and one for the proposed text, and would create a line section, then arrange the blocks and the line, then group the elements to form the note.

In addition to branded products, MIMS Ireland also includes information on branded generic drugs (prescribing information and prices) and true generic drugs (prices). The information published is based upon details included in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) or supplied by the manufacturers. A more abbreviated prescribing information of the products (regular monographs) is included in the main body of the book.
New packaging, dosage and indication changes, reformulations and other news of interest to the GP are featured in the New This Month section which follows the New Products and New Presentations sections. This section includes a monthly update from the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA). The HPRA monitors the safety of authorised medicinal products for human use available on the Irish market, on an on-going basis. Part of this monitoring is carried out through review and evaluation of suspected adverse reactions and the HPRA encourages all healthcare professionals to notify suspected adverse reactions observed during their practice. Any centres or practices wishing to develop their reporting systems should contact the HPRA Pharmacovigilance Section (telephone, fax, e-mail ).
Post-paid adverse reaction report forms are available on request from the Pharmacovigilance Section of the HPRA (contact details above). A downloadable version of the report form is also available from the ‘Report an Issue’ area of the HPRA website. These may be completed and forwarded in an envelope marked Freepost, Pharmacovigilance Section, Health Products Regulatory Authority, Earlsfort Centre, Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2. A one-page summary of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code is featured in the preliminary pages section before the Prescription Products. This page is updated every year, as the WADA issues a new Prohibited List of Substances and Methods which comes into effect on January of each year.
Changes to the Prohibited List are as a result of ongoing reviews by the WADA List and Medical and Research Committees. A substance or method is added to the List if it meets two of three criteria: It is performance enhancing, poses a danger to athletes’ health and its use is against the spirit of sport. The main part of the book includes up-to-date prescribing information of medicinal products available on the Irish market. The information is based upon details included in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) or supplied by the manufacturers. The drug monographs are deliberately concise, so readers are strongly advised to refer to the SPC when full details and the clinical significance of the products’ contraindications, special precautions, drug interactions, adverse reactions or overdose are required. The Price to Wholesalers (PTW) is given for the following products: GMS-reimbursed products, products on the High-Tech scheme and Hospital-only products. The reimbursement price is given for nutritional products.

The trade price is given for all other products. None of these prices include pharmacist dispensing fees. Prices are quoted to enable the prescriber to compare the cost of proprietary preparations and do not have any relation to the retail cost of the drug, nor of its cost if obtained on a private prescription. This section contains a table of all active ingredients on the interchangeable medicines list, their strength, pharmaceutical form, and route of administration. It also includes reference prices for selected groups of medicines, where they have been introduced.
