Licorice & Drug Interaction Dangers

Licorice can be a wonderful herb for many ailments, especially due to its healing effect on mucous membranes BUT you should avoid licorice if you are taking Digitalis, Thiazide any or loop diuretics. Because of its aldosterone-like effects, whole licorice can cause fluid retention, high blood pressure and potassium loss when 3 grams daily are taken for more than 6 weeks. Licorice can cause significant problems if you suffer from heart or kidney disease or diabetes or hypertension.

I have had heart problems and high blood pressure. I have never had a heart attack but in a period of less than 12 months I have had 6 stents. My Cardiologist upon recently learning I consume a bag of Locorice in about 1 1/2 days told me to immediately stop eating Licorice.

I ate a few small hands full of licorice and made about 10 trips to the bathroom one night. Between 11:00 P.M. and 7:00 A. M. I became quite dehydrated. It took a few days to fully recover. I am on some prescription medicine also. The pharmacists insist that there could be no reaction with the medicine by the licorice.
