Template:Infobox drug provides a consistent layout for drug articles and an interface to other sources that provide information about the drug. It can be used for single drugs, combination products (see #Combination products), monoclonal antibodies (see #Monoclonal antibody drugs) and vaccines (see #Vaccines). Don't worry about trying to fill in all the fields – even specifying just one or two can be useful.

Single chemical drugs

While editing a drug page, copy and paste either style of the following text at the top of the page:

Shortened single-drug form:   (For visibility, vertical-bar pipes "|" start a line but can also end a line.)

OR alternatively: use Diberri's excellent Wikipedia template filling tool which will generate a populated template to copy & paste into an article if given a DrugBank ID number (which may be obtained from DrugBank search). Please select for Fill template vertically, but as Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia, most drugs do not warrant Show extended fields.

Combination products

Set the parameter type=combo. This form of the box uses a different subset of parameters. For drug-combinations, at least two components must be defined, with optional 3rd or 4th components. For each component:

• define its name (which will be automatically wikilinked)
• and the class of agent it belongs to but this usually needs manual wikilinking, e.g. for Seretide:

Seretide

Combination of
Fluticasone	Glucocorticoid
Salmeterol	Long-acting beta2 agonist
Clinical data
ప్రెగ్నన్సీ వర్గం	?
చట్టపరమైన స్థితి	?

| type       = combo
| drug_name  = Seretide
| component1 = Fluticasone
| class1     = [[Glucocorticoid]]
| component2 = Salmeterol 
| class2     = [[Beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist|Long-acting beta2 agonist]]

Generally combination articles will not need to display the molecular images of its constituents (the relevant specific articles would have the images). It disables all Chemical & Pharmacology parameters (which describe properties of single drug items). These redundant disabled parameters are best not included in the template calling, so use the following abridged forms of the template:

Monoclonal antibody drugs

Set the parameter type=mab. This form of the box uses a different subset of parameters, mab_type, source and target:

Catumaxomab^?

Monoclonal antibody
Type	Trifunctional antibody
Source	Rat/mouse hybrid
Target	EpCAM, CD3
Clinical data
ప్రెగ్నన్సీ వర్గం	?
చట్టపరమైన స్థితి	?

| type       = mab
| drug_name  = Catumaxomab
| mab_type   = 3funct
| source     = axo
| target     = [[EpCAM]], [[CD3 (immunology)|CD3]]

mab_type defines one of the following types of antibody or antibody fragment:

mab_type	output
mab	Whole antibody
Fab	Fab fragment
F(ab')2	F(ab')2 fragment
Fab'	Fab' fragment
scFv	Single-chain variable fragment
di-scFv	Di-single-chain variable fragment
3funct	Trifunctional antibody
clFab	Chemically linked Fab
BiTE	Bi-specific T-cell engager

source is the species on which the protein sequence of the antibody is based:

source	output
a	Rat
e	Hamster
i	Primate
o	Mouse
u	Human
xi/a, xi/e, etc.	Chimeric (rat/human) etc.
xi	Chimeric [generic, use only if values above are not applicable]
zu/a, zu/e, etc.	Humanized (from rat) etc.
zu	Humanized [generic, use only if values above are not applicable]
xizu/a, xizu/e, etc.	Chimeric/humanized hybrid (rat/human) etc.
xizu	Chimeric/humanized hybrid [generic, use only if values above are not applicable]
axo	Rat/mouse hybrid

target is the antigen at which the antibody is directed. This parameter takes free text as value, preferably including a wikilink such as target = [[TNF-α]].

The drug name is followed by a "?" linked to Nomenclature of monoclonal antibodies, saving the need to explain how each monoclonal antibody has been named.

Vaccines

Set the parameter type=vaccine. This allows the alternative parameters of the vaccine_type and target to be specified:

• target is freetext. Usually will be wikified by the editor to point to a specific page
• vaccine_type must be from the defined list of options as described at Vaccine#Types, the infobox will provide standardised display and links as follows:

vaccine_type value	Output
killed or inactivated	Killed/Inactivated
attenuated	Attenuated virus
live	Live bacteria
toxoid	Toxoid
protein or protein subunit	Protein subunit
subunit	Subunit
conjugate	Conjugate vaccine
recombinant	Recombinant Vector
DNA	DNA vaccination

Where a vaccination product protects against more than one agent, please use the combination form of this infobox with type=combo (per #Combination products), and each classX=[[Vaccine]].

General notes about the fields

None of the fields are obligatory. DrugBank does not include every known drug and likewise protein binding may not be applicable to the drug (e.g. if only ever applied externally), so if these fields are not defined then their row is not shown.

Don't worry about getting all the fields — just do your best, and if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask at Template talk:Infobox drug.

Parameter explanations

General

| name = 
| drug_name = 

• name – optional parameter to invoke a special use template (a separate Template:Infobox drug/name page is created to store the template which is then transcluded into the drug article, view/discuss/edit button are displayed at top of the box) Not currently used
• drug_name – an optional parameter that provides a title for the box

Image

You can use the image to provide an illustration. These fields are optional, but it is helpful to provide an image if you can find one. Of course most images on the internet are copyrighted.

You may specify the image name directly, else the template defaults to trying to use File:PAGENAME.png, where PAGENAME is the name of the drug article being written.

The alt parameter specifies the alt text for the image, used by visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT.

There is also an optional width parameter you can add for the image. If your picture is far too big, then add a new line and specify a custom width like this:

 | image            = Aspirin.png
 | width            = 325

When no width parameter is specified, it defaults to a width of 220.

Occasionally a second image might be added to show the chemical structure in a different format. Use the optional image2 parameter for this. Hence the Paracetamol article uses:

 | image            = Paracetamol-skeletal.png 
 | image2           = Paracetamol-3D.png 

An alt2 parameter specifies the alt text for the second image. image2 generally uses the same width settings as the first image, i.e. as defined by width otherwise a default value of 220. A specific width2 may though be applied.

Clinical data

| tradename =  
| Drugs.com =
| MedlinePlus =

• tradename – comma separated list of tradenames
• Drugs.com – link to Drugs.com monograph
• MedlinePlus – MedlinePlus drug accession number

Pregnancy category

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 and pregnancy_US 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). For US values permitted are: A, B, C, D or X.

Note the UK does not have official designated categorisations, but has both a variety of standard phrases with explanatory qualifications, plus many individual descriptions. pregnancy_category may still be used with the country-specific parameters as it is appended afterwards, allowing backwards compatibility for articles that only define this parameter, or for the future with free-text of other information.

Hence

  | pregnancy_AU = B1
  | pregnancy_US = C
  | pregnancy_category = Used in pregnancy against [[Pregnancy-induced hypertension|PIH]]

gives

B1 (AU) C (US) Used in pregnancy against PIH

Legal status

Legal status has been previously declared using just the legal_status parameter with a variety of markup styles used to indicate various countries and their classifications. Alternatively legal_AU, legal_CA, legal_UK and legal_US may be set to the fixed options in the table hereafter. The template will ensure the categorisation is shown correctly capitalised, use Unicode Rx symbol and add a linked 2-letter country code as per WP:MOS. legal_status may still be used with the country-specific parameters as it is appended afterwards, allowing backwards compatibility for articles that only define this parameter, or for the future with free-text of other information.

Hence

  | legal_AU     = S2
  | legal_UK     = gsl
  | legal_US     = Rx-only
  | legal_status = Not marketed in [[Asia]]

gives

S2 (AU) GSL (UK) ℞-only (US) Not marketed in Asia

Note: if a drug is restricted everywhere to prescription-only, please set legal_status = Rx-only rather than similarly define for each and every country ('Rx-only' is specifically recognised by legal_status and shows as ℞ Prescription only)

Dependence liability

An optional parameter of Dependence liability allows opioids or benzodiazepines to be flagged with the risk of becoming dependent upon them, although in many cases this may be somewhat subjective. Drugs should be rated as Low, Medium, High or Extremely high:

 | dependency_liability= High 

Licensing information

There are two major licensing authorities that make drug information easily accessible: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). NB: The word "licence" is the noun in British English, "license" is the verb.

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 using of 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.

  | licence_EU = <!-- EMA requires brand name --> 
  | licence_US = <!-- FDA may use generic name -->  

Lists of products and the parameter term to use may be easily searched for:

• European Public Assessment Reports: SiteMap, authorised products A–Z: human, veterinary

  When items are composed of more than one word, licence_EU uses adjoined words (i.e. no spaces); e.g. infanrixpenta for Infanrix Penta.

• Drugs@FDA Search by Drug Name or Active Ingredient

  Where items are composed of more than one word, licence_US requires an underscore '_' in place of any spaces; e.g. Acyclovir_Sodium.

More patient friendly than the FDA's pages is Daily Med which reproduces the same details. The DailyMedID parameter, where specified, is shown in preference to the licence_US direct FDA link. Daily Med entries may be located at Search By Drug Name, e.g. for Furosemide

  | DailyMedID = 3940

Pharmacokinetic data and routes of administration

These parameters should be filled in because they contain important information about a drug. Use wikilinks for values that the general reader might not understand (e. g. hepatic, CYP3A4, intraperitoneal).

 | bioavailability   = 
 | protein_bound     = 
 | metabolism        = 
 | elimination_half-life = 
 | excretion         = 
 | routes_of_administration = 

Identifiers

DrugBank

The DrugBank primary accession number (consisting of a 2 letter prefix (DB) and a 5 number suffix). Secondary accession numbers with a 4 letter suffix (APRD, EXPT, BIOD, NUTR) should not normally be used.

PubChem

When available, the PubChem compound identifier (CID) should be used because it is unique for each chemical compound:

  | PubChem        = 4091  <!-- Metformin -->

Make sure you choose the right CID: Often PubChem compound entries differ only very slightly, for example by an additional hydratation water or by a carbon atom with unspecified stereochemistry.

If no CID is available, which is usually the case when there is no structural information on PubChem, you may use one of the substance identifiers (SIDs):

  | PubChemSubstance    = 10099  <!-- Etanercept -->

The box won't display both CID and SID to avoid list cruft.

Other identifiers

The following identifiers are also supported:

• International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology ligand ( | IUPHAR_ligand = )
• DrugBank identifier ( | DrugBank = )
• ChemSpider identifier ( | ChemSpiderID = )
• Unique Ingredient Identifier ( | UNII = )
• Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes ( | KEGG = )
• Chemical Entities of Biological Interest ( | ChEBI = )
• ChEMBL ( | ChEMBL = )
• NIAID ChemDB for HIV/AIDS drugs ( | NIAID_ChemDB = )
• Protein Data Bank ligand ID ( | PDB_ligand = )
• Synonyms ( | synonyms = ) – Do not include an indiscriminate list of synonyms.

ATC, ATCvet and CAS

Further information: 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 rather than Category:Drugboxes with an unspecified ATC code:

  | ATC_prefix        = none

Additional ATC or CAS codes may be included with the optional ATC_supplemental & CAS_supplement parameter as a comma-separated lists. CAS or ATC templates may be used to have these additional codes link to the relevant databases:

  | CAS_supplemental ={{CAS|427-51-0}} (acetate)
  | ATC_supplemental ={{ATC|M02|AA15}}, {{ATC|S01|BC03}}  

Adds the following linked codes:

For CAS -  427-51-0  (acetate)
For ATC - M02AA15, S01BC03

Veterinary drugs are placed in a slightly different classification system, ATCvet. The code may be specified as ATCvet by setting the parameter ATCvet to 'yes'. Do not include the leading 'Q' in ATC_prefix:

  | ATCvet            = yes 
  | ATC_prefix        = N05
  | ATC_suffix        = AX90

verifiedrevid and XXX_Ref parameters

verifiedrevid, as well as parameters like CASNo_Ref, StdInChI_Ref, etc., are used by the Chembox/Drugbox validation process.

Chemical data

Chemical formula

You can provide the chemical formula as either the default

 | chemical_formula = 

or by setting atom counts for each element, in these parameters:

 | C= | H= | Ag= | Al= | As= | Au= | B= | Bi= | Br= | Ca= | Cl= | Co= | F= | Fe= | Gd= | I=

| K= | Li= | Mg= | Mn= | N= | Na= | O= | P= | Pt= | S= | Sb= | Se= | Sr= | Tc= | Zn= | charge=

E.g.

 | C=2 | H=6 | O=1

gives

Formula C₂H₆O

Irrespective of the order of assigning values to the constituent parameters, the formula is displayed with elements in the hereinbefore order. The charge parameter, if defined, is shown superscripted.

E.g.

 | C=2 | O=1 | H=6 | charge=+

is identical to next line

 | C=2 | H=6 | O=1 | charge=+

giving

Formula C₂H₆O⁺

Other chemical data

Additional chemical data fields are SMILES and standard InChI (optionally oncluding a comment and standard InChIKey).

 | smiles            =
 | StdInChI          =
 | StdInChI_comment  =
 | StdInChIKey       =

Physical data

This is an entirely optional section, and for most drugs is not helpful to the wider readership. Only include if information of particular interest for the drug as to its chemical propersites (e.g. in its manufacture or as an important chemical in its own right, e.g. Aspirin). If any of the following optional parameters are defined then a new section header of 'Physical data' is shown.

 | density           = 
 | melting_point     = 
 | boiling_point     = 
 | solubility        = 
 | specific_rotation = 
 | sec_combustion    = 

The template will add the following to the numeric values provided:

• Density - added 'g/cm³'
• Melting or Boiling points - added '°C' along with calculated converted value in °F.
• Solubility - added 'mg/mL (20 °C)'

Hence:

 | melting_point = 100

gives:

Melting point 100 °C (212 °F)

In addition, where the melting point occurs over a range of temperatures, use melting_high for the upper value.

Hence:

 | melting_point = 100
 | melting_high  = 104

gives:

Melting point 100–104 °C (212–219 °F)

Comments can be added to the melting and boiling point entries using melting_notes and boiling_notes.

Hence:

 | boiling_point = 100
 | boiling_notes = (sublimes)

gives:

Boiling point 100 °C (212 °F) (sublimes)
