[edit]Exactly when was Methicillin taken off the market? I think it was around 1990, but I don't know and went on Wikipedia to find out. The article doesn't say. Can anybody supply this information?

Meticillin → Methicillin – Move seems to have been made in 2007 without proper verification. All searches show methicillin far more widely used even in ref given on page; results shown in Drugs bank.com; ngrams and Google searches. There is no mention to this change of name in ref given. Also all other pages use methicillin-resistant. Iztwoz (talk) 18:22, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
