Licorice has effects similar to glucocorticoids, which can cause water and sodium retention, potassium excretion, and increased blood sugar. Therefore, care should be taken when using it in combination with the following drugs. The first is cardiac glycosides (such as digoxin). Licorice can cause hypokalemia, increase the body's sensitivity to cardiac glycosides, and easily induce cardiac glycoside poisoning.

At the same time, furosemide and thiazide diuretics also promote potassium excretion. Their combined use may cause or aggravate hypokalemia. In addition, the combined use of licorice and other drugs that damage the gastric mucosa, such as aspirin and salicylic acid, may increase the risk of ulcers.
