This template defines the table "Medicines". View table.

Usage

Medicine entry template. Fill in fields below; empty fields are auto-omitted.

The problems parameter still uses the historical name in template wikitext to preserve compatibility with every existing medicine page; the rendered H2 heading on the page now reads "Problems" (see Special:Problems for the repository and Pharmacopedia:Citation needed adjacent context).

{{MedTemplate
| generic           =
| brand             =

}}

Notes:

  • The problems parameter feeds the "Problems" H2 section on the rendered page. Content typically consists of <problem ref="..."/> tags (formerly <problem ref="..."/>). Use SuggestProblem or the per-page + Add a problem link to propose new entries.
  • The adverse parameter is deprecated; its content is still rendered, but new pages should combine therapeutic and adverse effects into the single effects parameter.
  • The formula parameter is deprecated and no longer rendered. It can be removed from existing pages.
  • The single pharmacokinetics parameter is deprecated; new pages should use pk_absorption, pk_distribution, pk_metabolism, and pk_elimination.

This template also populates the Medicines Cargo table. See Special:CargoTables/Medicines.
