Pharmaceutical nameCnidii Rhizoma

Evidence grade: Not gradedSafety signal: Adverse-event literature existsMapping confidence: Strong correspondence

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

KTKP records the origin species as Cnidium officinale Makino. 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 5 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 1 other separately registered drug(s) (Cnidii Surculus), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Cnidium officinale.
