Mims Drugs Pdf

Complementary medicines listed in MIMS a commonly used electronic reference used by health professionals are being misleadingly represented as if they have been assessed by health authorities, an expert claims. Dr Ken Harvey, adjunct senior lecturer at the school of public health at Melbourne's La Trobe University, said doctors might not realise that information on listed complementary medicines in MIMS was provided by the products' manufacturers, and received no independent validation. This information was 'potentially erroneous and harmful', he told Australian Doctor. MIMS disclaimers currently state that product information has been provided by pharmaceutical companies and is 'approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration'. However, Dr Harvey said this disclaimer did not accurately reflect the difference between prescription products, which underwent a detailed assessment before TGA approval, and listed complementary medicines, which were not routinely checked by the TGA.

Dr Harvey said MIMS should be required to disclose that information on complementary products has 'not been independently assessed by Australian health authorities'. He raised the concerns after finding some health websites were promoting a complementary product known as Urinary Tract Support, using information sourced from eMIMS, under the impression it had been validated. His complaint follows a government brief released earlier this month, which revealed that 90% of complementary medicines subjected to post-market reviews by the TGA were found to be non-compliant with regulatory requirements. Just 26% of newly listed complementary medicines were subject to review last year, according to the document, which was released under freedom of information laws and marked 'in-confidence'.

MIMS declined to comment at the time of writing.
