The dose-effect relationship of Chinese materia medica (CMM) is the basis to determine the clinical dosage, as well as the key to ensure the safety and effectiveness in clinic. In this paper, the author reviews and summarizes the research ideas, research status, and research bottlenecks related to the dose-effect relationship of CMM in the past 10 years. It is suggested to introduce the theory of spectrum-effect relationship into the study of dose-effect relationship, so as to provide reference for further research on the dose-effect relationship of CMM.
