Evidence grade: Establishedauto-proposed · unreviewedSafety signal: CautionMapping confidence: Strong correspondence

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

KTKP records the origin species as Zingiber officinale Rosc.. 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 3 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 7 other separately registered drug(s) (Zingiberis Rhizoma Siccus, Zingiberis Exocarpium, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Zingiberis Succus, Zingiberis Farinae, Zingiberis Rhizoma Alba, Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparata), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Zingiber officinale. Literature searches for this herb also cover Zingiber officinalis — the same taxon appears under several names.
