Prodrug vs active ingredient
editThe article is for Azilsartan, but the structure shown is the prodrug Azilsartan medoxomil. I suggest that the image be changed to the active drug structure. -- The chemistds (talk) 13:59, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- That might be right, but the article seems a bit off. The refs are very sketchy. There are lots of trials but few published results except for PMID 20379769. LeadSongDog come howl! 03:20, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- That is right (see Sigma), I've exchanged structures and changed values in the drug box. --Cvf-ps (talk) 17:16, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Rename the page to Azilsartan medoxomil?
editThe text of the page is mostly about the drug azilsartan medoxomil but many of the drugbox entries are for azilsartan. Should there be separate pages for Azilsartan and Azilsartan medoxomil? Should this page be renamed to Azilsartan medoxomil? Whywhenwhohow (talk) 17:22, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

- Remark: Not sure whether we have a policy on this (we do for salts: the article is called Diclofenac, not Diclofenac sodium), but the same question applies to candesartan cilexetil. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:48, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- I am generally in favor of keeping the prodrug and drug together especially for obscure names. We need them together to properly distinguish them anyway. If there were a bunch of salts than maybe, but I am only seeing one here. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:56, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
