The reasons I think these changes would be a great addition to the site is that it would:
a) educate people as to the drugs they are taking.
b) encourage them to use their proper chemical names rather than brand names.
c) allow posters & readers to easily identify other posts that are relevant to them or to which they might contribute. This is the big issue for me, I really like your site Bob but I'm not a doctor and god help all doctors who are forced to have to remember up to 15 or so pseudonyms for every drug! I can only imagine the enormous number of mistakes that must happen.
d) once the scripts started running for all new posts, they could easily be run over the old ones too. That way you'd have a meaningful database that would grow & grow.
e) you don't need to buy any new software. I got the info above from Wiki. I imagine they would let you source it if you credit them perhaps? Else it's not proprietary knowledge anyway.
FYI I have central sleep apnoea & am prescribed methylphenidate which I dislike. Hence I am swapping to modafinil which sadly has the following brand names around the world :
* Provigil (US, UK, Ireland, Italy, Belgium)
* Vigil (Germany)
* Modalert, Provake, Modapro, Modafil (India)
* Modiodal (France, Mexico, Turkey, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, the Netherlands)
* Modavigil (Australia, New Zealand)
* Alertec (Canada)
* Vigicer (Argentina)
* Forcilin (Argentina)
* Resotyl, Mentix, Alertex, Zalux (Chile)
* Modasomil (Austria, Switzerland)
* Vigia (Colombia)With the global trade in generics now, people source their meds from all over the world. So to find relevant posts at your site I have to search for 17+1 names...! Tragically, people must just skip a lot of posts because they don't recognise the names used. I know I do.
