Description

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), also known as sweet root, is an herbal remedy commonly used to relieve dyspepsia. It has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties and may promote peptic ulcer healing by inhibiting prostaglandin metabolism. Use is contraindicated in hypersensitivity and not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Caution is advised in patients with heart, kidney, or electrolyte disorders, as excessive intake can cause hypertension, hypokalemia, or arrhythmias. Licorice may interact with diuretics, cardiac glycosides, antihypertensives, and warfarin. Regular monitoring is recommended during prolonged use to ensure safety and effectiveness.
