Fuzi(Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) is a kind of herb commonly used for tonifying fire in traditional Chinese medicine.Because of its toxicity
the use of dosage has been controversial.By searching the viewpoint and medical practice of ancient and modern physicians in relevant literature concerning the use of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata
we found that the use of dosage of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata contained in the 2015 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China(abbreviated as Pharmacopoeia) was too small.Therefore
it is recommended the pharmacopoeia to modify the dosage limit of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata in order to ensure the medication not only legal but also reasonable.
