It's the title of the article/study.
"Considerações sobre o [drug name]"
'Considerations on' or 'considerations on the use of' just doesn't sound right to me.
Definition of "Consideração" according to Houaiss:
1. exame detido e refletido
Myabe just 'study on'?
Thanks.

about [drug name]
For the title of an article, I think "About [Vioxx]" is all you need. This is exactly what "considerações sobre" means in this particular case. If the author had wanted to convey the concept of a detailed scientific study or analysis, he/she would have surely used a different word in Portuguese.
Hope this helps and good luck!

A review of (drug name)

"On the drug name"
I'd skip the noun and go straight to the object: "on the drug name". This formula is much used in scientific papers.
This example is not a title, but starts with the expression:
On the drug name topic, it still blows my mind that there is actually a drug now named Soma, and it's a muscle relaxant. That just kills me. ...

considerations
I'd use considerations (on).
HOUAISS também diz que CONSIDERAÇÃO = observações feitas após um exame ou reflexão.

of course "Preamble" would be for the title or heading. As for the rest, probably "information on (drug name)

after looking at your additional context, I would be inclined to translate it as "Facts on [drug name]"

On second thought, "Analysis" would probably be better, i.e. "an analysis of..."

I think this might fit your context... and it is also one of the English equivalents for considerações found in dictionaries
