The MARC reviews information collected from the mediccil literature and through adverse reactions monitoring, particularly the Intensive Medicines Monitoring Programme. It also makes recommendations on any appropriate action that may be required. 

A limited number of medicines are monitored at any one time on the IMMP. The list of medicines monitored is published in the Presenter Update and New Ethicals publications and is included on the Medsafe web site. In addition to reports of adverse events, data are collated from all prescriptions issued for these medicines in New Zealand, plus their total sales figures, so that an accurate assessment can be made of the causality and relevance of any events that occur.
