Usage[edit]
The template does not at the current time include summary information about the drug class itself. Instead, it contains a consistent interface to other sources that provide information about the drug class. Don't worry about trying to fill in all the fields – even if you can only get one or two, that still can be useful.
While editing an article about a drug class, copy and paste the following text at the top of the page:
