FAQ

FAQ for Creation / Translation of FAQ (Q&A) on Medical Products

What is the minimum or maximum number of Q&As I can request?

We accept requests starting from a single Q&A, whether for new creation or revision. We are also fully equipped to handle large-volume requests (e.g., 100+ items), depending on the required delivery schedule. Please contact us to discuss turnaround times and pricing for your specific volume.

Can you accommodate our unique corporate guidelines?

Yes, absolutely. We will prepare your manuscripts in strict accordance with your detailed specifications regarding format, style, and drafting guidelines.

Is it possible to request revisions for only a specific portion of a Q&A manuscript?

Yes, you can. We accept requests such as adding a single new reference or guideline as a summary, or adding information for a newly approved indication. Even for partial revisions, we ensure consistency by proposing necessary adjustments to affected areas, such as citation numbering and surrounding context.

Do you offer regular maintenance or check if Q&As need updating due to package insert revisions?

Yes, we provide regular maintenance checks to determine if revisions are necessary (including checking for updates to cited materials like guidelines). We also verify whether product-wide Q&A revisions are required following changes to package inserts. Furthermore, if you use IMIC's proprietary Document Information System, I-dis, you can manage the entire lifecycle within the platform—from recording that no revision was necessary to managing the revision process, reference materials, approvals, and publication of required updates.

Can I request the creation or revision of the Q&A section on our company website?

Yes. In addition to internal Q&As, we can create and revise external Q&As intended for healthcare professionals published on your website.

Which databases do you use for medical literature searches?

We frequently receive requests for searches in domestic databases such as Ichushi Web and JMEDPlus, as well as international databases such as MEDLINE (PubMed) and EMBASE. However, we can use other databases based on the specific search themes of your Q&As. (We are available to consult with you regarding the selection of the most appropriate databases, including cost considerations.) Our expert searchers in the medical and pharmaceutical fields will assist you in selecting the most appropriate and cost-effective databases.

Who conducts the analysis (filtering) of the search results?

The analysis is conducted by the medical writers responsible for drafting your Q&A manuscripts. Our staff, possessing extensive experience in analyzing medical and pharmaceutical search results, performs highly precise filtering based on the context of the Q&A to extract only the necessary literature.

If we localize an overseas Q&A, can you also handle its revisions?

Yes. We can provide partial translations for only the specified revised sections. We also accommodate detailed requests, such as comparing old and revised versions to identify exact changes (additions, deletions, relocations) or translating and editing the older version to match the updated content.
