Talk:Atropine/diphenoxylate

Note

Hi, I tried to add another trade name for this drug, as I was searching for info on it, but took a circuitous route to make it to this page. For some reason though, I can't edit the article itself! If anyone sees this comment who can edit, please add Lofenoxal to the list of names, to help people googling the topic in the future. Thanks! 219.90.151.200 (talk) 09:59, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

If

If you are traveling into Asia or South East Asia or in to area where there are poor hygiene practices, then I suggest that you carry a small supply of Lomotil. After 48 hours of unsuccessful self treatment, seek medical advice. 58.178.103.189 08:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Parastesis??

The term "parastesis" is not defined anywhere in Wikipedia, as far as I can tell. Not only that, but there are only 42 hits in Google for that word, and none of them seem to be high-quality sources. The word does not appear in Cancerweb's online medical dictionary and Medline's medical dictionary redirects to "paresthesia".

Google gives 148 hits for "parestesis", almost all of which are Spanish-language pages. In those pages it appears to my untrained eye to be the equivalent of "paresthesia".

Unless anyone objects soon, I'm going to edit this to change it to "paresthesia".

Moving page

Normally, drug-related pages use the generic name instead of the brand name. Is there any reason why this wasn't done in this case? WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Active ingredients may vary by region

Pfizer uses this trademark differently in Mexico. In Mexico, Lomotil-branded tablets contain 2 mg Loperamide.

According to Google Translate, "Cada TABLETA contiene Clorhidrato de loperamida 2 mg" translates as "Each tablet contains 2 mg loperamide hydrochloride." --Keith111 (talk) 05:28, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Move/rename article

The article should be named Diphenoxylate/atropine to match the order in the drug.
