Tapinarof/benvitimod

Anypodetos there are claims that tapinarof and benvitimod differ.^[1]^[2] -- Whywhenwhohow (talk) 05:27, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the links! According to Stein Gold, the two creams are "distinct topical medications that contain the same active component (3,5-dihydroxy-4-isopropyl-trans-stilbene)". Wikipedia usually has articles about active ingredients and discusses different formulations of the same substance, if notable, in the same article. See e.g. Ciclosporin, which is about the oral formulation as well as the eye drops. So I think we should have one article under the INN per Wiki guidelines (which is tapinarof per ChemSpider) and ideally describe the differences between the two formulations here. (Also, describing two different formulations under different names of the same active ingredient is really confusing; at least it was to me.) --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 07:00, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
