Is there a way I could export the articles containing Drugboxes or do I need to install Wikipedia locally?
The best way to do it would be to get the list of articles using the API:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API
If that's too hard, you could could download templatelinks.sql.gz from
http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/
and load them into a MySQL database, and then use that to get the list of articles. But it's a big file and it's out of date. Either way, you should get a list of articles and then download them in small batches (say 10 articles at a time) using Special:Export. This may require a small amount of scripting.
