"were being administered" is a grammatically correct and commonly used phrase in written English.
It is the past progressive tense of the verb "to administer," meaning to give or apply something, typically a treatment or medication. The phrase "were being administered" is often used to describe a continuous action that was happening in the past. This can be in contrast to the simple past tense, which describes a single completed action in the past.

This sentence indicates that the administering of the drug was ongoing during a specific period of time in the past.
