CONCLUSION The quality of drug information in Wikipedia continues to be inconsistent, increasing the risk that consumers and practitioners may inappropriately rely on it. Although the entry on atorvastatin did contain sufficient information with a complete list of FDA-approved indications, contraindications, and food and drug interactions, this was not the case for the four other statins examined. Because the entries on the five most commonly prescribed statins lacked important information, the authors recommend that consumers should seek other sources and not rely solely on Wikipedia.
