Objectives  To analyze the labeling of drug items for patients with renal insufficiency in our hospital so as to provide reference for rational use of drugs. Methods  The drug instructions used in No.1 Hospital of Jilin University in 2017 were collected. According to the classification of pharmacology, the instructions of the top 9 drugs system were selected. The annotation of drug items for patients with renal insufficiency in these pharmaceutical instructions was analyzed. Results  A total of 812 drug instructions were included, in which 72.17% did not mark drug instruction for renal insufficiency patients. According to the administration system, the highest unlabeled rate were digestive system drugs; according to the method of administration, the highest unlabeled rate was external preparation of drugs, accounting for 83.33%; according to production enterprises, the highest unlabeled rate were domestic drugs, accounting for 75.55%. There were only 23.40% of the tagging items having guidance of medication, and some with a certain degree of confusion in the annotation. Conclusion  The unlabelling situation of drug instructions for renal insufficiency patients is very serious. It should arouse the attention of pharmaceutical manufacturers and the pharmaceutical supervisory department is suggested to strengthen the supervision of drug instructions and regulate the contents of drug labeling in drug instructions, so as to guide the rational use of drugs in clinical practice.
