Authors : 박종철(Park Jong-cheol), 최고야(Choi Goya)

Abstract
We reviewed on the changed contents about the origins, phamaceutical names, synonyms, and english names of the latest editions of Korean Pharmacopoeia (KP) and Korean Herbal Pharmacopoeia (KHP). 165 herbal medicinal materials were in KP, and 353s were in KHP. 93 materials were changed at the origins, because of changing of original species, correcting of scientific names, refining of normal words, and specifying of medicinal parts, etc. 51 materials were changed at the latin pharmaceutical names, the main reasons were changing of scientific names and correcting of medicinal parts. And, 82 materials were changed at synonyms or english names, and most of them were decreased or deleted. In KHP, 17 materials were deleted by the whole revising at 2012, and 9 materials were added by the supplementary revising at 2013. Some contents like general species names, scientific names, and latin pharmaceutical names were needed to further modify.
