abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate injections of ginseng polysaccharide from 4 different manufacturers of 5 batches on the market.
  
  
  METHODS
  Based on quality analysis, normal examinations were investigated, and monosaccharide composition and the molecular weight of polysaccharide in ginseng injections were performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Products from 4 different manufacturers were in line with the requirements of quality standard and Chinese Pharmacopeia (2010 edition). But there were great differences in molecular weight and monosaccharide composition.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is suggested to enhance the quality standard to ensure the medication safety use.
