MIMS updates the medicines data with at least 150 changes to the product information each month. It is very important therefore that users of eMIMS ensure that they have the latest information at their fingertips.
We send an updated eMIMS DVD three times per year – April, August and December. However, in between these releases, the monthly updates are provided on this site.
Full instructions on how to update the eMIMS application are detailed below.
