Abstract: Objective To analyze the rationality of use of drugs for patients with HFMD in our hospital, and to provide reference for clinical rational use of drugs. Methods The prescriptions for patients with HFMD diagnosed in the Department of Outpatients and Emergency Department of our hospital between January and December 2018 were collected, and the rationality of drugs used was analyzed. Results A total of 1 508 cases of HFMD were collected. There were 69 kinds of drugs used for treatment, including antiviral drugs, antibacterial drugs, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, and Chinese patent medicines for clearing heat and detoxification. The selection of drug varieties was basically appropriate. There were 68 problematic prescriptions, accounting for 4.51% of the total. Most of the improper prescriptions were sub-standard ones. Conclusion The use of drugs for HFMD in our hospital is basically well-grounded, but off-label instructions are common, and there are some defective prescriptions. The clinical research on and prescriptions for HFMD should be improved to promote rational drug use.
