| Abstract;Standard deviation (SD) and standard error (SE) are frequently used to express variation in pharmacokinetic data but they should be used properly since their purposes are totally different. With this in mind, we examined the documentation of pharmaceutical products and conducted a questionnaire survey of pharmaceutical companies to see how the terms SD and SE were being used. SD was more frequently used in product documentation and recent quoted references. However, in the questionnaire survey, while most pharmaceutical companies said that it was more appropriate to use SD, responses suggested that SE was used improperly to improve the appearance of data.
