Recognised as the most accurate drug reference system in Australia, MIMS Abbreviated has been the cornerstone of MIMS intellectual property for over forty years. It provides essential, independently edited information on prescription medicines and the mostly commonly used and prescribed over-the-counter and alternative therapies.
MIMS Abbreviated is published in book form five times a
year, and features an easy-to-use format based on therapeutic class to simplify
the cross-referencing of similar medicines. It provides concise summaries of
key information to assist the medical practitioner in checking indications,
contraindications, precautions, dosage and PBS information for the same range
of medicines.
