I suspect we will never have an alphebetical list of drugs because there are thousands of them, and some of them are sold under > 100 drug trade names. However, this article could have a list of drug categories, like narcotics, amphetamines, b-blockers, and so on. Then each item in this list could link to a list for that group. I have started a number of such "catalogs" already, like Antibiotic, Antiviral drug/Catalogs/Catalog of antiviral drugs. David E. Volk 11:00, 8 June 2008 (CDT)
