Cyclizine
Thanks for adding info on Cyclizine - a few points though (purely in a friendly constructive manner) - please do ask me or any other editor if you have any queries or need help over any point (we'll be nice and try to follow the policy of Please do not bite the newcomers :-) Please have a look at the overall edit changes here between your additions version and my post-edit version (also see the edit summaries I gave with each major stage of my editing).

 * The style of added material suggested sourced from patient drug-leaflet or a drug formulary - ideally if a source is used in the general researching into a topic, then it should be acknowledged in a 'References' section. I assume (as required by policy WP:Assume good faith) that this is not a direct and wholesale lift of a copyrighted material, but this does quite often occur in wikipedia with pages of drug-leaftlets being added (which under Copyrights tends to get removed by other editors).
 * Wikipedia does not, as such, give medical advice and so much of the warnings associated with drug literature (e.g. contraindicated if previous reaction to the drug or one of its consituents, specifically writting "consult your doctor if ..." or "if ... occurs call an ambulance") are generally not appropriate within a wikipedia article - or at the very least needs to be rephrased for the wikistyle.
 * I've reordered the additional information you kindly gave, adding section headers (2 equal signs either side, rather than the 3 single-quotes you used for bold text). You will note that if there are 4 or more section headers, then wikipedia automatically display a contents box. I also wikified a few terms (double square-brackets to create links to other wikipedia articles). Finally I thought the info on pregnancy was likely of a general explanation to its categorisation class, rather than specific to this single drug, as such I thought (personal opinion) this was off-topic for this article (the summarising table has a link to Pregnancy category which explains the terms).
 * Finally I applied categories to this article (they appear at the bottom of the page)

A tag has been placed on Pharmacotherapeutics, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
