MIMS are updating medicine ingredient names as part of our push to support the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) project to harmonise with names used internationally. A cumulative list of the changes can be found below.
MIMS will begin referring to these ingredients by their new names, however, users may continue to search by the old AANs if preferred.
