The Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) Formulary (“the formulary”) should only be used by qualified health care professionals as a tool to aid the prescribing and administration of medications for paediatric patients. The formulary may not be used by any person who is not a qualified healthcare professional.

CHI makes no representation, express or implied, with regard to the accuracy of the information contained within it, or its suitability for any purpose, and all implied warranties are expressly excluded. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the content, CHI does not accept any legal responsibility for any errors or omissions in the formulary or that may be made by users of the formulary. Further CHI disclaims any liability for any injury, loss or damage arising from or related to the use of this formulary by any person, as the responsibility for prescribing or administration of medications or treatment and final checking rests solely with the prescriber or other suitably qualified healthcare professional.

This formulary reflects current prescribing practices at CHI. It may not always contain all the information necessary for prescribing, dispensing, or administration. Where there is any doubt, information should be checked against manufacturers’ Summary of Product Characteristics, (data sheets), published literature or other specialist sources including the CHI pharmacy departments. Due to the nature of medication use in the paediatric setting, information contained in the formulary may pertain to the use of unlicensed medications or methods of use that fall outside the Summary of Product Characteristics (off-label use); this includes uses in indications, age ranges or administration outside of the manufacturers’ recommendations. Prescribers must take full responsibility for prescribing unlicensed or ‘off-label’ medicinal products.
