Extracts of cang-zhu atractylodes have been used in clini- cal studies to treat infants with rickets. In one study, oral doses of 0.066 ml of the essential oil were administered to 2- or 3-year-olds three times daily for 1 to 2 weeks (Chen and Chen 2004). In a s econd study, infants were treated with a syrup containing the equivalent of 4.5 g of cang-zhu
atractylodes twice daily for 15 days (Chen and Chen 2004). No adverse event information was reported in English lan- guage translations.

No information on the safety of bai-zhu atractylodes in lactation was identified. While this review did not identify any concerns for use while nursing, safety has not been con- clusively established.

Overdose (standard dose is a decoction of 6–15 g) or inap- propriate use has been associated with vomiting of blood, nosebleeds, bloody stools, elevated temperature, and agita- tion (Bensky et al. 2004).

Information on the mag- nitude of the effect on prothrombin time was not listed in the English language translation (Chen and Chen 2004).
animal pharmacological studies
No relevant animal pharmacological studies were identified.
in Vitro pharmacological studies
Induction of the drug-metabolizing isoenzyme CYP3A4 was observed in human liver cells and rat liver microsomes treated with extracts of bai-zhu atractylodes (Dong et al. 2008a, 2008b).

Sesquiterpene lactones isolated from bai-zhu atracty- lodes inhibited contractions induced by acetylcholine and oxytocin in isolated rat uteri (Zhang et al. 2000).
No information on the safety of bai-zhu atractylodes during lactation was identified.

The LD50 of a decoction of bai-zhu atractylodes intraperito-
neally administered in mice is 13.3 g/kg (Chen and Chen 2004).
Cytotoxicity
Pro-oxidant and cytotoxic activities of the compound atrac- tylenolide have been observed (Wang et al. 2006).
