A question about the picture in the chemistry section
the picture that shows (R)-Salbutamol and (S)-Salbutamol actually show the same molecule, but rotated. If they are different molecules they should be shown as different. Melquiades Babilonia (talk) 05:57, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The image shows different molecules - the two are correctly depicted enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror images) of each other. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:54, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Change in preg wording
Not sure about this "It can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but excessive use should be avoided"

What is "excessive use" and which ref says it should be avoided?

What the ref says is "Category C" which means risk is unknown. While the other ref says compatible with pregnancy and non human data for breastfeeding but probably okay. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:58, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * That excessive use bit is not the most useful part of that ref. What is excessive use? One should actually use the amount that is required. If a mother has a severe asthma attack and the mother is about to die one does not limit use.  Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 07:16, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
