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)Reply

Support - Per WP:COMMONNAME. 277 vs. 21,200. Meatsgains (talk) 20:54, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Support. A PubMed search also shows that "Methicillin" (31,658 hits) is far more common than "Meticillin" (1,239 hits). --HyperGaruda (talk) 09:52, 25 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
