Infobox

The infobox has a lot of content about ethanol and is titled as such, but this article is really more general. Sizeofint ( talk) 04:16, 16 September 2017 (UTC) reply

And also the header. Are we sure this can't be a section inside alcohol? Sizeofint ( talk) 01:55, 18 September 2017 (UTC) reply
I just refocused the article on ethanol. Sizeofint ( talk) 02:07, 18 September 2017 (UTC) reply
As a WHO Essential medicine it deserves its own article. The topic about ethanol being a drug is much much bigger. Also this article is not exclusively about ethanol. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 18:21, 18 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Also this article is not exclusively about ethanol. How do you want to handle the infobox then? Use {{ Infobox drug class}}? Sizeofint ( talk) 22:48, 18 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Have added a caption. Some of it should be changed. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 03:27, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Lithium (medication) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 14:15, 29 January 2019 (UTC) reply

Rename?

Maybe this page should be named something like Alcohols in medicine, to make it clearer that this isn't about alcoholic beverages. (Please {{ ping}} me if you need a reply.) WhatamIdoing ( talk) 20:27, 13 August 2019 (UTC) reply

I concur. I think I'm going to be bold and do just that. oknazevad ( talk) 20:43, 30 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Alcohol (medicine) was clearer and is the format used for stuff that is also used as a medication. This is not about alcohol and the medical system. Moving back. Could try a WP:RM Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 13:29, 31 October 2019 (UTC) reply
This was the (informal) RM. WP:NOTBURO and all that. The problem with the current title is is looks like it's about a medicine named "alcohols", not about the use of alcohols in the field of medicine. The discussed title was superior and there was no reason to move it back. oknazevad ( talk) 06:24, 15 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Why is Razi not mentioned? After all he was the first one who invented it?
