To the Editor: The discussion regarding increased currency and updating of prescription drug information (product information, PI)1 provides on opportunity for insightful and valuable debate. MIMS (a compilation of PI)2 supports any initiatives that result in PI and consumer medicine information (CMI) being updated more regularly, and I would like to clarify MIMS’ specific role in the process.
