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

Combination of drugs

ସମ୍ପାଦନା
  • |type=combo

For drug-combinations, at least two components must be defined, with optional a 3rd and 4th component. For each component:

| component1 =<!-- name, will be wikilinked -->
| class1     =<!-- class of agent, needs manual wikilinking -->

Example for Seretide:

Seretide
Combination of
FluticasoneGlucocorticoid
SalmeterolLong-acting beta2 agonist
| drug_name  = Seretide
| type       = combo
| 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

ସମ୍ପାଦନା
  • |type=mab

This form the box uses parameters:

| type       = mab
| mab_type   =
| source     =
| target     =

For example Catumaxomab:

Catumaxomab
Monoclonal antibody
TypeTrifunctional antibody
SourceRat/mouse hybrid
TargetEpCAM, CD3
| type       = mab
| 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
sdAb Single domain antibody
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.

  • |type=vaccine

This allows the alternative parameters of the vaccine_type and target to be specified:

  • target can be any text. CAn be used to link to a specific article
  • 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

Infobox title and INN

ସମ୍ପାଦନା
Aspirin

By default, the title of the infobox is the article title. You can overwrite that using |drug_name=. Do not add any other specifiers or links (especially, do not add "BAN" or "USAN").

Per the Manual of Style, the infobox title must be the International nonproprietary name (INN). There is a tooltip text referring to INN.

When, for some reason, the title is not the INN, the correct INN can be added as a subtitle using |INN=

Heroin
INN: Diamorphine
 | drug_name = Heroin
 | INN = Diamorphine
 

When the drug has no INN at all, setting |INN=none will suppress the tooltip text mentioning INN.

See also #Names and identifiers

You can use the image to provide an illustration. A caption can be added. The alt parameter is a textual description of the image, and is shown in the 'tooltip' and read by visually impaired readers (more in WP:ALT). Parameter width sets the width in px; default width is 200px.

| image            = Acetylsalicylsäure2.svg
| caption          = structure
| alt              = Molecule of aspirin
| width            = 125

A second image can be added using image2:

| image2            = 
| caption2          = 
| alt2              = 
| width2            = 

Also a side-by-side pair of images can be added (with single caption):

| imageL = 
| widthL = 
| altL = 
| imageR=
| widthR = 
| altR = 
| captionLR =

Pregnancy category

ସମ୍ପାଦନା
See also 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 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. The generic |pregnancy_category= acceptts any text, and may be used with such country-specific information (non AU or US).

For the new US labeling guidelines PLLR, parameter |PLLR= is added and will show any input text (not re-formatted).

Dependence liability

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

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:

| dependency_liability = High
| addiction_liabiliy = High

Licensing information

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

There are three major licensing authorities that make drug information easily accessible: Health Canada, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). NB: In British English, "licence" is the noun, "to license" is the verb. In US English, the noun is "license" (see #ENGVAR).

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 except EMA, 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.

| licence_CA = <!-- Health Canada may use generic or brand name (generic name preferred) -->
| licence_EU = <!-- EMA requires brand name -->
| 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) -->

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.
| class = any text

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 wiki linked).

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 may be included with the optional |ATC_supplemental= parameter as a comma-separated list. ATC templates may be used to have these additional codes link to the relevant databases:

| ATC_supplemental ={{ATC|M02|AA15}}, {{ATC|S01|BC03}}

Adds the following linked codes:

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
See also: {{Infobox drug/legal status}} for extensive documentation.

Legal status allows to specify which controlling acts are active in various countries and organisations. Available parameters are |legal_AU, legal_CA, legal_DE, legal_NZ, legal_UK, legal_US, legal_EU, legal_UN=, and links are provided for standard input. Also, the parameters can have the suffix |..._comment=.

Also available is |legal_status=, which is general and allows any text. When using this parameter, consider adding geographical information on where this is law.

Example
Legal status
Legal status
| legal_AU     = S2
| legal_AU_comment = any text
| legal_CA     = 
| legal_DE     = 
| legal_UK     = gsl
| legal_US     = Schedule II
| legal_US_comment = and OTC in Oregon
| legal_EU     =
| legal_UN     =
| legal_NZ     = 
| legal_status = Not marketed in [[Asia]]

Returns:

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. |legal_status=Rx-only is specifically recognised and shows as

  • ℞ (Prescription only)

Pharmacokinetic data

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

In general, these parameters are relevant ro a drug. Use wikilinks for values that the general reader might not understand (e. g. hepatic, CYP3A4, intraperitoneal).

  | bioavailability   = 
  | protein_bound     = 
  | metabolism        = 
  | metabolites       =
  | onset             = 
  | elimination_half-life = 
  | duration_of_action=

Adds the following linked codes:

For CAS - 427-51-0 (acetate)
  • See also: Second identifiers and indexes

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.

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 -->

Second identifier (like: CAS_number2)

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Using second identifiers
ATC_prefix2 =
ATC_suffix2 =
CAS_number2 =

KEGG2 =
NIAID_ChemDB2 =
PDB_ligand2 =
PubChem2 =
SMILES2 =
smiles2 =
StdInChI2 =
StdInChIKey2 =
UNII2 =

All identifiers can have a second, index-2 identifier, representing a second chemical substance. For example, |CAS_number=536-71-0, |CAS_number2=908-54-3.

Additionally, |index_label= and |index2_label= can be used to prefix (clarify) both substances.

  • When used, the indexes <blank> and 2 are used consistently for two substances (so, all #2 identifiers refer to the same alternate substance).
  • When index 2 is used, consider adding |index_label= and |index2_label= prefixes, to appear before every identifier.
  • These index prefixes can be explained using |index_comment=, |index2_comment= which will show in top.

Chemical and physical data

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Entering the chemical formula per element:

| 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= 
<!-- all 118 symbols -->
| charge=
| chemical_formula_ref =
| chemical_formula_comment =

E.g.

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

gives

Formula C2H6O2−

This is called the empirical form, the most simple form. Entered this way, the elements are ordered in the Hill notation order: When C is present, CxHy in front and the others alphabetically Ar ... Zr. When a molecular formula or structural formula is known, that one should be entered in |chemical_formula= (consider using {{Chem}}).

You can provide the chemical formula as fixed

| chemical_formula =
| chemical_formula_ref =
| chemical_formula_comment =

todo: example


Molar mass

When the chemical formula is entered as |C=2 |O=1 |H=6, the molar mass is calculated and presented. This value can be overwritten by using |molecular_weight= (sic). For more information, see {{Chem molar mass}}.

Other chemical data

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

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

| SMILES            =
| Jmol              =
| StdInChI          =
| StdInChI_comment  =
| StdInChIKey       =
The Jmol 3D model

When |SMILES= has input, the template automatically adds an external link to the Jmol 3D molecule model.

  • |Jmol=None will suppress (hide) that data row.
  • |Jmol=<some SMILES string> will link to the 3D-model of that string (i.e. overwriting |SMILES= input). SMILES will show its input unchanged.

This is entirely optional data, 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).

| density           = 
| density_notes     =  
| 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)

Input from Wikidata

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

The template reads and shows the E number and ECHA InfoCard ID from Wikidata. If there is no value present, not no data is shown.

See also Category:Chemical compounds and Wikidata.

Verification by CheMoBot (parameters: ..._Ref)

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Seven identfying parameters like |CAS_number=are tracked in a WP:Drugbox data validation process. A bot adds parameters like |verifiedrevid= and |CAS_number_Ref={{cascite|correct}}. See also {{cascite}} documentation.

English variant spellings (ENGVAR)

ସମ୍ପାଦନା

The word "License/Licence" can be spelled in two ways, generally by English variant en-UK or en-US. Per Manual of Style:ENGVAR, this chosen regional language should be consistent throughout the whole article.

The default spelling in the infobox is en-US: "LicenSe". Setting |engvar=en-AU, en-CA, en-EI, en-NZ, en-UK spells "LicenCe". Again, this should follow the article's overall language.

Independently from this, both either parameters |licence_US= or |license_US= can be used. This is for ease of editing, but does not change the spelling of "Licence/License" that will show.
