This Infobox will display the most pertinent information about a drug at the top of the article. When appropriate, please use the standardized options listed in the field description (click the (i) icon above each field to show a list which can be copy-pasted). You may also include brief clarification in parenthesis after each item. If using an abbreviation, please link to a page that defines it (e.g. use [[ETT]] not ETT). To display items on separate lines, add <br/> between them.
