Please replace all code {{Infobox drug}} with sandbox code (diff) Fernando Trebien (talk) 16:26, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Adds
|mrna = [[mRNA vaccine|mRNA]]
to preformat-options|vaccine_type=
. -DePiep (talk) 16:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC) - Also adds
|peptide = [[Subunit vaccine#Peptide subunit|Peptide subunit]]
,|polysaccharide = [[Subunit vaccine#Polysaccharide subunit|Polysaccharide]]
and|vlp = [[Subunit vaccine#Virus-like particles|Virus-like particles]]
. While mRNA is an emerging type during the pandemic, the other 3 types are other common types of vaccines for other diseases. Some editors prefer to specify the more general type (always a superset), and some prefer to specify the more specific type. Based on current usage and other findings. --Fernando Trebien (talk) 18:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC) - (Sorry, I missed those in my visual check.) -DePiep (talk) 19:17, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- To editors Ftrebien and DePiep: done, and thank you both very much! P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 21:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Adding a short description
Could someone add additional code, please, to create an automatic short description, such as "Drug"? That would be a great help in reducing the number of articles that are missing such a description. Pinging RexxS: would you be able to help? MichaelMaggs (talk) 10:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- "Drug" would be too unspecific (into uselessness). Maybe use INN? -DePiep (talk) 12:48, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- "Drug" is perfect, and nothing more complicated is needed. The description needs to be kept short and non-technical to comply with WP:HOWTOSD: "avoid jargon, and use simple, readily comprehensible terms that do not require pre-existing detailed knowledge of the subject". Short descriptions are intended not to define the subject matter but are primarily to allow mobile users who are looking at a long list of titles after carrying out a search to decide whether a particular article is in the right field. It helps them decide whether some term they've never seen before is, for example, a drug, a disease, or the name of a computer game. MichaelMaggs (talk) 16:43, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- OK, perhaps there are too many exceptions, where the infobox is used for things that most people wouldn't normally describe as a "drug". Not easy to separate those out. MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- "Drug" would be too unspecific (into uselessness). Maybe use INN? -DePiep (talk) 12:48, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Should toxicological information be included?
Something like say LD50? --Palosirkka (talk) 07:56, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Seems reasonable. But there are multiple types of LD50 - see https://go.drugbank.com/drugs/DB00073 e.g. Oral, Inhalation, Skin. --50.201.195.170 (talk) 00:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Biosimilars (and biologics)
This template is being used for articles on medicines with biosimilars, such as Rituxan and the drugs <sic> that are biosimilars for it. Template:Infobox_drug#Monoclonal_antibody_drugs is helpful. However, field synonyms (displayed as "Other names") isn't appropriate; biosimilars and generics aren't the same thing. I propose a new field: biosimilars. Consensus? --50.201.195.170 (talk) 00:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- That is biosimilar. -DePiep (talk) 05:50, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- What? That article is about biosimilars, but so what? --50.201.195.170 (talk) 07:14, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Proposal
Clinical data | |
---|---|
Other names | synonyms |
Biosimilars | rituximab-abbs, rituximab-pvvr, rituximab-arrx |
AHFS/Drugs.com | Monograph |
- Add data point/parameter "biosimilars" (distinct from synonyms, trade maks etc.). Would take text input unedited (shows as entered). See Rituximab. -DePiep (talk) 13:47, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- support seems like a good idea--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:03, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

PDB monoclonal antibodies
Does it make sense to add support for monoclonal antibodies in PDB?
For example, 5L6Y for Tralokinumab

All references to "EU" should be changed to "EU/EEA", since, under the European Economic Area Agreement, the European Commission, on the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency, authorises medicinal products for use throughout the European Economic Area (which is the EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). Kennethmac2000 (talk) 19:43, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Not needed, not helpful. EMA is an EU institution. Agreements by outer countries to follow EMAs rulings is a spin-off, not a change of ruling. (EEA-effects coulds be added(!) to the EMA article though). -DePiep (talk) 06:06, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
EMA licence search template appears to be broken
The template's search function for licence data on the EMA website (licence_EU) appears to be broken. It retreives "page not found" for all articles I tested it with. I assume the EMA updated its website and thus the search mask will no longer work as before. Could someone have a look at this and possibly fix it? Thank you! --Shinryuu (talk) 10:47, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, because EMA recently rebuilt its website and changed the URL addressing scheme, in the process moving from INN to tradenames in titles and URLs. The template now needs complex engineering and given the shift to tradenames, it may be not even be possible to restore the function. — kashmīrī TALK 12:18, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
deprecate current EMA link
- I suggest we deprecate/remove/disable it like we did for licence_CA and pregnancy_US. We should probably do the same for licence_US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Infobox_drug/Archive_16#licence_US_parameter_no_longer_works --Whywhenwhohow (talk) 18:44, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Agree. No disfunctional link.
- Proposal: do not show (the currently disfunctional) EMA link and -data row.
- Demo by {{Infobox drug/sandbox}}. See /testcases2#Licence. More tests welcome. Test in articles: use (edit into) {{Infobox drug/sandbox}} & Preview.
- Change, intended: "Lincence data" data row will not show EMA data nor link(s).
- Discussion please (after which the change could go ahead). -DePiep (talk) 23:26, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

redesign EMA link
- Or could we instead adjust the EMA link in the template to direct to the tradename instead? I know this is not ideal, but the documents from regulatory agencies such as EMA and FDA are probably the best source of information on medicines, so we should provide a link to them in all articles on medicines. In cases where there is more than one drug with the same active component, there is usually a reference product, so I suppose we could link to that one.
- Examples:
- The drug Tafamidis is only available as Vyndaqel in the EU, so the EMA link in the article could go to https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/EPAR/vyndaqel
- The drug Follitropin alfa is available as several biosimilars: Gonal-f, Cinnal-f, Fertilex, Ovaleap and Bemfola. The originator (reference product) is Gonal-f, so the EMA link could go to https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/EPAR/Gonal-f
- Examples:
- IIRC: EMA publishes (monthly?) a downloadable spreadsheet. It connects "some drug ID" to "EMA-publication ID". Very n-to-n relations. Could use that for Infobox, but requires data analysis. (sorry, no time to research this issue now. But it looks programmable. do not say easy nor cheap in hrs.) Have a Nice Edit, DePiep (talk) 23:37, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- If you know someone at EMA and if they actually consider such requests, this would be the ideal solution. I also fiddled around with the search function a bit, and I think we may be able to fix this by using a search link filtering for EPAR (the relevant registration document) and INN. This is actually possible with the current EMA search function. For the two examples of tafamidis and follitropin alfa I used above, this retrieves the following results:
- Tafamidis: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/ema_group_types/ema_medicine/search_api_aggregation_ema_active_substance_and_inn_common_name/tafamidis One hit, Vyndaqel (the only available drug in the EU)
- Follitropin alfa: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/ema_group_types/ema_medicine/search_api_aggregation_ema_active_substance_and_inn_common_name/follitropin%20alfa Four hits for the four biosimilars with this active component registered in the EU

deprecate current FDA (US licence) link
- The licence_US link is broken and always goes to the Drugs home page. Let's hide it also if you are going to make the change to hide the one for the EMA. --Whywhenwhohow (talk) 01:07, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- That's FDA only then (DailyMed seems to work?). eg Amlodipine. Will prepare this in sandbox.
- It is the searchpage though, so one can enter a search name. But not automated (POST ort GET difference). -DePiep (talk) 07:37, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
