Consumer Medicine Information (CMI)
This guide is about consumer medicine information (CMI) and how it can be used by consumers and health professionals to build better relationships and achieve the quality use of medicines.
Consumer Medicine Information (CMI) is designed to inform consumers about prescription and pharmacist-only medicines. CMI leaflets are produced by the pharmaceutical company that makes the particular medicine. They may be included in the medicine package, but can always be requested from the pharmacist or doctor.
The CMI Guide provides information about how CMI can be used by consumers and health professionals to build better relationships to achieve the quality use of medicines.
