AMIS

According to § 67 a of the German Drug Act (Arzneimittelgesetz, AMG) the drug information system AMIS was implemented at the DIMDI. The Competent Authorities of the Federal Government and the Laender work together with the DIMDI in order to improve and update this central information system. AMIS contains the approval data of the German drug regulatory authorities BfArM (Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices), PEI ( Paul-Ehrlich-Institut - Federal Institute for Vaccines and Biomedicines) and BVL (Federal Agency for Consumer Protection and Food Safety).

The information system has been adapted for different groups of users:

AMIS - Öffentlicher Teil (Public Part)

has been designed for the pharmaceutical industry, for health care professionals and other interested persons.

AMIS für die Bundesländer (AMIS for Laender)

has been adapted for the Competent Authorities of the Laender.

AMIS für den Medizinischen Dienst (AMIS for Medical Services)

has been adjusted to the needs of the Medical Services of the Statutory Health Insurance Funds (Krankenkassen).

Stoffbezeichnungen (Terms for Substances)

The database contains names of ingredients of medicinal products that have to be used within the application for approval. These Terms for Substances can also be downloaded.
