Some of the terminology found in the package inserts in our study was either not listed or specifically not recommended for use in federal government reporting. These findings elucidate the prevalence and contexts in which race/ethnicity-related terminology is employed, highlighting its potential impact on clinical decision-making and drug use evaluation.
