Content

It may be useful to have a template for classes of medications. Some ideas of content it could content

1. Consumer reports have good overviews of drug classes as seen here for beta blockers [1]
2. The ATC code
3. The MESH ID code for beta blockers is D000319
4. Medicinenet.com or rxlist.com by WebMD may also be useful [2][3]
5. A list of generics within the class. drugs.com provides this info http://www.drugs.com/drug-class/cardioselective-beta-blockers.html

Version 1.0  Done (see testcases). Boghog (talk) 10:40, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Is there a way we can set it such that if no info is available it leaves the spot blank? Have started at Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:56, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

The template has been edited so that if a parameter is missing, the left hand column containing the internal Wiki link will still be displayed, but the external link will be blank (see for example Template:Infobox drug class/doc). Boghog (talk) 14:20, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes but if the data does not exist for all headings it would look better if it where hidden IMO.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:23, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Addition and some questions

• I added a "Use" field. Suggestions for a better title are welcome.
• I'd put the "Biological target" on top, maybe after the "Use".
• Shouldn't empty lines be hidden? That's standard for infoboxes as far as I know.
• Why is the Drugs.com entry named "list of generics"? And the title "best-buy-drugs" for Comsumer Reports sounds a bit like an online pharmacy for people who don't know the background.

Consumer reports

I am having trouble getting this one to work. Agree that "best-buy-drugs" is not the best title. --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:42, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Anyone able to fix this? Or should I give it a try?--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:55, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Adding http://www.drugs.com/npp/vitamin-d.html

Am trying to use these boxes for vitamins. Can we add this link under drugs.com? --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:55, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Changes

Fixed article name showing up. I have removed the background color into purple. It was defined as "navbox-style" (class), but that is not appropriate in this infobox. I understand the color has no meaning, and may be changed. Headers now are with bg color grey. Also added the Wikidata link, if there is one. -DePiep (talk) 08:23, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

class= parameter for dark mode purposes

I made a tiny addition to Template:Infobox drug class/sandbox here (Special:Diff/1246109348) that allows me to add the skin-invert-image filter for dark line drawings (per [4]). I'm not familiar with Template editing and wanted to double-check that this is a sane way to go about adding this filter. I copied the Vitamin E infobox drug class to my sandbox to test the addition, and it looks fine to me. ― Synpath 23:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

I've made this change to the template (Special:Diff/1247489275) and updated the doc (Special:Diff/1247489515). ― Synpath 14:26, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
