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

KTKP records the origin species as Paeonia lactiflora Pallas. 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 same source species also yields 3 other separately registered drug(s) (Paeoniae Radix Alba, Paeoniae Radix Rubra, Peaoniae Radix), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Paeonia lactiflora. Literature searches for this herb also cover Paeoniae lactiflora — the same taxon appears under several names. 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.

    Safety

    auto-proposed · unreviewed

    • 21 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: 여로(藜蘆)와 같이 쓰지 말 것. 허한(虛寒)에 의한 복통(腹痛), 설사자(泄瀉者)는 복용에 주의함.

    Interaction literature

    This lists literature that is retrievable — it is not a judgement that an interaction exists. Read the papers to decide.
