[edit] Proposed merge

Glyburide and glibenclamide are one and the same; glyburide is simply the USAN, while glibenclamide is the INN. I am therefore proposing that Glyburide be merged into Glibenclamide, in conformity with Wikipedia:WikiProject Drugs/General/Naming of drug pages. If anyone opposes this merge (or in the event I am completely wrong and these drugs are in fact not the same), please leave a message here or on my talk page. If there is no opposition, I will perform the merge myself in 24 hours, that is, on July 14, 2006. Fvasconcellos 18:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Go for it. Based on this --> [1] <-- they are the same. Nephron  T|C 20:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pregnancy

Anyone want to explain "contraindicated in pregnant women"? As far as I'm aware, they've been prescribing this class of drugs pretty consistently for 30 years for pregnant women, including my wife when she was pregnant. --Mrcolj 20:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
