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

KTKP records the origin species as Pueraria lobata Benth (Willd.) Ohwi (= Pueraria thunbergiana). It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Pueraria lobata. Literature searches for this herb also cover Pueraria montana var. lobata, Pueraria thunbergiana — the same taxon appears under several names.

      Safety

      auto-proposed · unreviewed

      • 32 adverse-event or toxicity record(s) were found. This only flags that literature exists — read the abstracts to decide between "caution" and "harm confirmed".
      • 3 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: 위한구토자(胃寒嘔吐者)와 표허한다자(表虛汗多者)는 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.
