[edit] If

If the terms are interchangeable or if the term 'sulfa' is simply another name for a well-known sulfa-drug, it only seems reasonable to merge it into the main sulfa drug page.

Who has a picture of the structure of sulfonamides? Sikkema 20:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't sulfacetamide be added to the list of sulfonamides? Its page says it is one.

[edit] Sulfonamide vs. Sulfa drug

Why is there a page for "Sulfa drug" if it is basically the same as "Sulfonamide (medicine)" and there talk pages are merged? I'm going to remove "Sulfa drug" and place a redirect in a few days if I don't hear any reason not to.Lizz612 20:10, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually I'm going to just propose a merger instead. There is information on Sulfa drug that isn't on sulfonamide.Lizz612 16:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

• 'Agree' - go for it David Ruben ^Talk 01:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
• Support merge, as mentioned over at WT:PHARM :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:23, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I think its mostly merged. I'll clean it up more later then delete and redirect Sulfa drug. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. A tabbed browser sure is useful. :) -- Lizz612 (talk) 20:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

All done with the merge and redirect. Probably needs some tiding up as far as possibly redundant info goes.Lizz612 (talk) 17:45, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

Can we get a section that talks about what diseases/situations are treated with sulfa drugs, and compare them to other antibiotics? WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:25, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
