MIMS PILs
(Patient Information Leaflets)
When it comes to patient education,
less is definitely more. MIMS PILs - patient information leaflets
- provides you with information on over 600 New Zealand medicine
brands.
The PIL sheets are designed for use
as a handout after patient counselling and can be understood
by most people. They are developed following research by hospital
pharmacists, and feedback from patients, and are designed
to answer questions most frequently asked by patients about
their medication.
