Information Sources

Pharmacists at Medicine Information Systems Ltd prepare med+info leaflets from approved medicine manufacturers’ medicine data sheets obtained from the Ministry of Health. In addition we use specialised pharmaceutical reference material in our library that includes Martindale (medicine information) and Stockley (medicine interactions) as well as selected websites. Where necessary we cross check information through the internet. Questions raised by members of the public, pharmacists, other health professionals and manufacturers are researched and addressed where appropriate.

The medicine information is managed and processed in therapeutic groups as identified in the “Australian Medicine Handbook”. All medicine information and processing is driven by our in-house SQL lite relational database software. This provides a secure structure to manage the very large volume of medicine data.
