The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.

KTKP records the origin species as Atractylodes ovata (Thunb.) DC. (= Atractylodes macrocephala). It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The same drug appears under 2 records as name variants. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Atractylodes macrocephala. The nomenclatural discussion for this herb was flagged for correction during verification; only the verified facts are shown here, with the details in docs/HERB_NAME_RESEARCH.md.

auto-proposed · unreviewed

  • 10 adverse-event or toxicity record(s) were found. This only flags that literature exists — read the abstracts to decide between "caution" and "harm confirmed".
  • 1 interaction-related record(s) are retrievable. This flags that literature exists — it is not an interaction checker (§3.4).
  • The KTKP record states the following traditional contraindication: 성(性)이 온조(溫燥)하여 다복(多服)하면 상음(傷陰)의 우려가 있으며 음허내열(陰虛內熱) 또는 진액휴모조갈(津液虧耗燥渴)의 경우에는 기(忌)한다.

Adverse-event and toxicity literature
