A series of indices including indications, administration frequency, dosage, administration period, drug-drug interactions, adverse reactions and treatment efficiency were evaluated.
Results: The number of patients showed the indications of shenmai injection were 119 (77.27%) and 168 (93.33%) in cycle A and cycle B, respectively. The number of patients showed the contraindications of shenmai injection were 18 (11.69%) and 12 (6.67%) in cycle A and cycle B, respectively. Satisfactory outcomes were reported among all the patients with no serious adverse reactions reported.
