This is the Vancouver style for referencing, used at the Univerity of Portsmouth within the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences and the Radiography departments.

The Electronic Medicines Compendium (EMC) is a website but you are presumably looking at a particular drug. If you access a Patient Information Leaflet or a Summary of Product Characteristics through EMC, the author is the company who produces the drug, not EMC. The company will be named on the page. There will always be a "last updated" date on the page, which is the date you should give.
