The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.
KTKP records the origin species as Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. 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 11 records as name variants. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Scutellaria baicalensis. Literature searches for this herb also cover Scutellariae baicalensis — 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
- 48 adverse-event or toxicity record(s) were found. This only flags that literature exists — read the abstracts to decide between "caution" and "harm confirmed".
- 17 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)하므로 비위(脾胃)를 상하게 할 수 있으며, 비폐허열(脾肺虛熱)과 같이 실열(實熱)이 아닌 경우에는 기(忌)한다.
