Abstract: Objective To investigate the instructions on infusion on some labels of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) injections in order to provide reference for clinical treatment and standardized management. Methods The instructions of some TCM injections were collected, and the requirements specified in the instructions were analyzed, involving the administration route, preparation methods, solvents, concentration, storage conditions, and infusion speed before the integrity of and problems with the labels were examined. Results All the thirty-nine instructions of TCM injections had the routes of administration specified. Twenty-seven of them (87.10%) were marked with preparation methods, twenty-four (77.42%) concentrations of preparation solutions, ten (32.26%) storage conditions, twenty-four (61.54%) the infusion speed, eighteen (48.65%) flushing tubes, and two (5.13%) with material requirements of infusion sets. Conclusion Among these TCM injection instructions, requirements are not quite specific as to the storage of solvents, flushing of tubes and the materials of infusion sets. It is suggested that manufacturers supplement the details in the instructions to provide reference for clinical treatment and standardized management.
