Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am a 3rd year student of medicine from Kerala.Though I work on<br>
ml.wikipedia, I have recently started editing pharmacology-related<br>
articles on en.wikipedia. I have noticed the same insufficiency you<br>
mentioned. On Wikipedia, we do have articles covering various drugs<br>
their actions and side effects, but most often they are not useful to<br>
the public as these articles do not contain the proprietary(trade)<br>
names of the drugs.<br>
Most of the trade names listed in Wikipedia are those from the US or<br>
UK. Presently, the state of things in en.wikipedia is such that if<br>
an Indian trade name is added to the Wikipedia page of a drug, it<br>
gets deleted soon because of notability reasons. People often search<br>
for the trade names on Wikipedia as they do not know the generic names<br>
of the same. The end result is that those looking for information<br>
about a particular drug on google end up reaching sites other than<br>
Wikipedia.<br>
<br>
Projects of this kind are something I am looking forward to. Though I<br>
am still a student, I would like to get invloved in this project(or<br>
similar projects) if ever we plan to launch it.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
