Amur cork tree 黃柏

Pharmaceutical namePhellodendri Cortex

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 Phellodendron amurense Rupr.. 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 4 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 2 other separately registered drug(s) (Phellodendri Radix, Phellodendri Caulis), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Phellodendron amurense.

Safety

auto-proposed · unreviewed

  • 4 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: 고한(苦寒)한 약물로 상음패위(傷陰敗胃)시키기 쉬우므로 화왕(火旺)하고 위기(胃氣)가 강한 자(者)가 아니면 복용을 기(忌)한다.

Adverse-event and toxicity literature

This is not a finding of harm — it lists literature that is retrievable. Read the papers to decide.

Interaction literature

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