Editing Template:Infobox drug/doc (section)

=== Clinical data ===

 | tradename = 
 | Drugs.com = 
 | MedlinePlus = 
 | routes_of_administration = 

* '''tradename''' – comma separated list of trade names by the originator (no generics, not more than three names)
* '''Drugs.com''' – link to Drugs.com monograph
* '''MedlinePlus''' – MedlinePlus drug accession number

==== Pregnancy category ====
:''See also [[Template:Infobox drug/pregnancy category|pregnancy category, documentation]] for extensive documentation''
Pregnancy Categorisation has been previously declared using just the '''pregnancy_category''' parameter with a variety of markup styles used to indicate various countries and their classifications. Alternatively '''pregnancy_AU''' may be set to the fixed categories. For Australia values permitted are: A, B1, B2, B3, C, D or X (note if just set to 'B' then '''B?''' is shown). Pregnancy categories are no longer used in the US.

Note the UK does not have official designated categorisations, but has both a variety of standard phrases with explanatory qualifications, plus many individual descriptions. The generic {{para|pregnancy_category}} accepts any text, and may be used with such country-specific information (non AU or US).

{{Infobox drug
| drug_name=Demo pregnancy
  | pregnancy_AU = B1
  | pregnancy_AU_comment = {{dummy reference}}
  | pregnancy_category = Used in pregnancy against [[Pregnancy-induced hypertension|PIH]]
}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
  | pregnancy_AU = B1
  | pregnancy_AU_comment = <ref>...</ref>
  | pregnancy_category = Used in pregnancy against [[Pregnancy-induced hypertension|PIH]]
</syntaxhighlight>

==== Dependence liability ====

Optional parameters '''Dependence liability''' and '''Addiction_liability''' allow opioids or benzodiazepines to be flagged with the risk of becoming dependent/addicted upon them, although in many cases this may be somewhat subjective. Drugs should be rated as ''Low'', ''Medium'', ''High'' or ''Extremely high'':
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| dependency_liability = High
| addiction_liability = High
</syntaxhighlight>

==== Licensing information ====
{{hatnote|1=In British English, "licence" is the noun, "to license" is the verb. In US English, the noun is "license" (more in {{section link||ENGVAR}} below)}}

There are three major licensing authorities that make drug information online accessible: <!-- [[Health Canada]] (HC, CA), -->the [[European Medicines Agency]] (EMA, EU), and the [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA, US). 

The FDA "Label Information" and the EMA "Product Information", where available, are very detailed. There is material aimed at the professional and also plain-English consumer information. These are excellent reliable source for article information but also contains much that makes it a worthwhile "External link" since there is no way one can include all the info. Both sites work when using the brand name of the drug but the FDA site also allows searches with the generic name (active ingredient), which lists generic variants where they are licensed. Health Canada's site operates similarly to the FDA's site, with Canada-specific drug monographs and other information. The DailyMed site is a more user-friendly repository of primarily labeling information. For all sites, the use of the generic name of the drug is preferred whenever possible as this will list all brand and generic forms of the drug.
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| licence_EU = <!-- Any input here (like '=yes'), will give link by INN -->
| DailyMedID = <!-- DailyMed may use generic or brand name (generic name preferred) -->
| licence_US = <!-- or |license_US=; FDA may use generic or brand name (generic name preferred) -->
</syntaxhighlight>
<!-- Sep 2020: CA not used, broken API | licence_CA = Health Canada may use generic or brand name (generic name preferred) -->

:{{para|licence_EU|yes}} will create a link to the EMA site, using the INN (i.e., INN, drug_name or article title). When the EMA used INN is different, enter its INN in {{para|INN_EMA}}.
Lists of products and the parameter term to use may be easily searched for:
* European Public Assessment Reports: [http://www.ema.europa.eu/sitemap.htm SiteMap], authorised products A–Z: [http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/medicines/landing/epar_search.jsp human], [http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/medicines/landing/vet_epar_search.jsp veterinary]
* Licence EU (EMA): ''any'' input in {{para|licence_EU}} will give a link to the EMA page for the active substance (INN).
* Drugs@FDA [http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Search_Drug_Name Search by Drug Name or Active Ingredient]
*: Where items are composed of more than one word, '''DailyMedID''' and '''licence_US''' require an underscore '_' in place of any spaces; e.g. ''Acyclovir_sodium''.

==== Drug class ====

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| class = any text
</syntaxhighlight>

The [[drug class]] designates the family that this drug belongs to. Typically the chemical class (e.g., [[benzodiazepine]]), mechanism of action (e.g., [[beta blocker]]), mode of action (e.g., [[diuretic]]), and/or therapeutic class (e.g., [[analgesic]]).  Hence this field may contain more than one drug class if appropriate (each preferably [[WP:WIKILINK|wiki linked]]).

==== ATC, ATCvet ====

{{see|Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology/Style guide#Use ATC codes}}
Where the drug is not included in ATC coding system (as opposed to its value just not been entered into the template) then set '''ATC_prefix''' to 'none', and the article is automatically added to [[:Category:Drugs not assigned an ATC code]]:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| ATC_prefix        = none
</syntaxhighlight>

Additional ATC(vet) may be included with the optional {{para|'''ATC_supplemental'''}} parameter as a comma-separated list. ATC templates may be used to have these additional codes link to the relevant databases:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| ATC_supplemental ={{ATC|M02|AA15}}, {{ATCvet|S01|BC03}}
</syntaxhighlight>
Adds the following linked codes:
:For ATC – {{ATC|M02|AA15}}, {{ATCvet|S01|BC03}}

Veterinary drugs are placed in a slightly different classification system, [[Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System#ATCvet|ATCvet]]. The code may be specified as ATCvet by setting the parameter '''ATCvet''' to 'yes'. Do not include the leading 'Q' in '''ATC_prefix''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| ATCvet            = yes
| ATC_prefix        = N05
| ATC_suffix        = AX90
</syntaxhighlight>
When the ATCvet code happens to be the same as the ATC for a mainly human drug, it is usually a better idea to just provide the ATC in the infobox.
