Drug instructions are important legal documents that describe in detail the use, indications and precautions of drugs, and are essential for doctors and patients to use drugs rationally. With the process of internationalization, drug instructions are often translated into bilingual languages ​​to facilitate the use of patients with different languages. Especially for imported drugs, due to language differences, doctors and patients may find it difficult to understand the relevant information, so the accuracy of translation is particularly important because it is directly related to people's life safety. So, what details should be paid attention to in the translation of drug instructions? Here are some key points:

　　1. Drug name, ingredients and appearance: Drugs usually have Chinese names and pinyin names in China, and many drugs also have English names to meet the needs of the international market. When translating, be sure to conduct multiple verifications to ensure that the name is accurate. At the same time, the description of ingredients and properties must use professional terms to ensure that the information is clear.

　　2. Functions, indications, usage, dosage and contraindications: This information is crucial for both drug users and translators. Due to the wide variety of drugs, misuse may affect health. Therefore, translators need to strictly follow accuracy and rigor to ensure that the translation content is correct to avoid confusion or health risks to users.

　　3. Auxiliary instructions and precautions: Auxiliary instructions provide supplements to the main information. Considering the complexity of the drug, some content needs to be described specifically. Precautions usually involve potential side effects of the drug, especially for specific groups such as pregnant women, the elderly and children. Avoid any omissions or errors in translation to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the information.

　　4. Specifications, storage conditions, packaging, expiration date and batch number: These external information are equally important and directly affect the safe use of the drug. Translators need to pay attention to the content, storage requirements and expiration date of each pill of medicine. Mistakes may lead to serious consequences. Although packaging and batch numbers are relatively simple, they also need to be handled with caution to ensure legality.

　　When translating drug instructions, attention must be paid to these details. Any small mistake may endanger the patient's life. Therefore, both the translator and the beneficiary should have a deep understanding of the translation content so that they can make safe choices in real life.
