Abstract: Objective To investigate how routes of administration are described in the specifications of intravenous injections in order to provide reference for clinical rational drug use and prevent off-label use of medicines. Methods The routes of administration of 236 types of intravenous injections described in the specifications were statistically analyzed, and the difference in the descriptions of how these intravenous injections were administered was studied. Results The descriptions about routes of administration of eleven of these intravenous injections were non-standard in the specifications (4.7%), and intravenous injection and intravenous infusion were not clearly defined. Conclusion Non-standard descriptions of routes of administration in the specifications of intravenous injections are an urgent issue to be addressed by enterprises and related departments of the National Medical Products Administration.
